SECTION 19-14 EMERGENCY AND FUNERAL LEAVES OF ABSENCE. In the case of the absence of an employee due to a serious . emergency, including a serious illness of a member of such employee's immediate family but excluding the death of a member of such immediate family, the Clerk-Administrator, in their discretion, may authorize use of sick leave benefits up to a maximum of three (3) days for each emergency within the limits to which the employee is entitled by their service credit. In the case of the death of a member of an employee's immediate family, such employee shall be entitled to three (3) days funeral leave with pay, which funeral leave shall not be credited against such employee's accrued sick leave benefits. SECTION 19-15 EXTENSION OF LEAVE. In order to receive paid sick leave, an employee must report as soon as practicable to their supervisor or the Clerk Administrator the reason for such absence; keep their immediate supervisor informed on a daily basis if the absence exceeds more than three (3) work days durationj and submit a medical certificate stating the cause of the employee's absence if required by the Clerk Administrator. An employee who is eligible to receive sick leave and who is . eligible to receive Worker's Compensation payments shall be granted accrued sick leave pay only in the amount of the difference between the employee's regular salary and the Worker's Compensation payments. An employee cannot receive more than their normal take home pay as a result of any City pay supplement to Worker's Compensation benefits. The Council may, in its discretion, grant additional sick leave pay to an employee in the event the Council finds that extension of the normal sick leave allowance is justified because of hardship to the employee. The Council shall determine the existence of the hardship, which determination shall be final. In addition to the particular hardship, the Council shall consider the length of service of the employee, and emergency extensions of the sick leave allowance shall not be granted unless the employee has been in the employ of the city at least one calendar year, whether part-time or full-time. The Council shall also determine in the particular case whether such emergency sick leave as may be granted shall be charged against later accumulations of sick leave by the employee.
