15.2 Sick leave shall be considered as a privilege which an employee may use at his
discretion, but shall be allowed only in case of necessity and actual sickness or
disability. Any abuse of sick leave is cause for disciplinary action by the appointin!
power. Employees eligible for sick leave shall be granted such leave when they are
incapacitate for performance of their duties by sickness, injury or for medical,
dental or optical examination or treatment, or when a member of the immediate
family of the employee is afflicted with an illness and requires the care and
attendance of the employee, or when, through exposure to contagious disease, the

required isolation or restriction of movement of the patient for a particular period

possible. Requests for sick leave or medical, dental or optical examinations must bc

will be made against annual or sick leave when such absence is approved in advance

amount the employee would ordinarily receive for the period of
incapacitation not to exceed ninety (90) calendar days. Thereafter

annual leave to such absence and to receive compensation therefore in
the amount equal to the difference between the compensation to which

figuring the benefits paid by insurance, wage benefits alone shall be
considered and medical and hospital benefits shall be excluded.

allowance granted by the insurance and the amount the employee woulc
