Convert Sick Leave to Cash
Employees have the option, on an annual basis, to convert six out of the twelve days of unused sick leave for payment. If any sick days are used, these must be subtracted from the sick days that could have been converted. Thirty days of sick leave must remain in accrual after qualifying sick days have been redeemed.
Use Sick Leave Toward Medical Benefits
Employees will be allowed to cash out their unused sick leave or use it toward medical benefits, upon separation from the City for any of the following reasons:
1. Resign with 20 or more years of continuous service
2. Upon retirement
