2.52.100 Sick leave for LEOFF I employees.
A LEOFF I employee is a member of the Law Enforcement Officers and Firefighters Retirement System as it existed prior to October, 1977. In the case of sickness which renders such an employee unable to perform the duty of employment, a regular full-time employee who is covered by the LEOFF I system is entitled to nonaccumulative sick leave with pay as follows:
A. Employees working eight hour days shall be entitled to seven days nonaccumulative sick leave for each calendar year, providing, however, that such employees may take only three consecutive working days of sick leave with pay.
B. Employees working ten hour days shall be entitled to six days nonaccumulative sick leave for each calendar year, providing, however, that such employees may take only three consecutive working days of sick leave with pay.
C. Employees working twenty-four (24) hour shifts shall be entitled to three nonconsecutive working shifts as nonaccumulative sick leave in each calendar period.
D. It is the intent of this section to provide sick leave allowance only for short-term illnesses. In case of long-term illnesses or disability, application should be made for disability to the LEOFF Board. Nothing contained in this ordinance shall have the effect of extending beyond six months the disability leave required under RCW 41.26 or its predecessor statutes.
