WHEREAS, by section 352, paragraph 65 of The Municipal Act, R. S.O., Chapter 280, Councils of municipalities are authorized to draft by-laws to provide a plan of sick leave credit gratuities. AND WHEREAS it is deemed advisable and expedient to pass such a By-law to provide sick leave credit gratuities for the employees of the County of Essex. NOW THEREFORE be it enacted and it is hereby enacted by the Council of the Corporation of the County of Essex as follows: 1. An accumulated sick leave plan is hereby established for all those full-time employees of the Corporation of the County of Essex that are not covered by any collective agreement in force from time to time. 2. Ail employees of the Corporation having completed their probation- ary period shall be allowed sick leave on the basis of 1~ days for each month of service, commencing from the date of their employment. A doctor's certi- ficate shall be presented to the Administrator of the County by any employee absent from work due to sickness for more than 3 working days. Ail unused sick leave shall be accumulated on a pro rata basis to the nomber of days worked each month and records thereof shall be maintained by the Corporation. Notwithstanding anything therein contained any employee hired by the Corpora- tion after September 12, 1979, shall be allowed to accumulate sick leave as provided herein, but shall only be entitled to use such accumulated credits in the event of illness. No portion whatever of the accumulated sick leave credit will be payable to such an employee notwithstanding the number of years service in the employ of the Corporation. 3. Any employee absent from work through sickness shall not be paid for days absent, save and except, where such employee has accumulated sick leave, in which case such absence shall be deducted from the employee's accumulated sick leave without any deduction in said employee's pay. 4. Any employee receiving monies through Workmen's Compensation Board shall not receive any monies from the Corporation nor experience any deduction in accumulated sick leave. Any employee receiving monies from disability insurance provided by the Corporation of the County of Essex shall deliver such monies to the County Administrator, receive an amount equal to the amount of pay he would receive for a normal work week, and shall have his correspond- ing number of days deducted from his accumulated sick leave. 5. Any employee failing to report to work due to sickness shall notify his immediate supervisor or department head at least 30 minutes after the commencement of his normal work day. 6. Sick leave for each month of service shall be accumulated on a pro-rata basis except in the following circumstances when no sick leave shall be accumulated: (a) On leave of absence without pay; (b) Lay-off by the Corporation; (c) Suspended for just cause.
