3.5 Unlike FMLA leave, sick leave is not job protected leave. After an employee exhausts available FMLA leave and any leave required as a reasonable accommodation by the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Department Director and Human Resources staff may determine that operational needs require the Department to fill the position.

3.6 Unused regular sick leave may be accumulated without limit.

3.7 An employee absent from work for any of the following reasons shall continue to accumulate sick leave at the regularly prescribed rate during such absence as though he/she was on duty:

3.7.1 On designated holidays

3.7.2 During sick leave

3.7.3 During vacation

3.7.4 For disability arising from injuries sustained in the course of employment

3.7.5 For all authorized leaves of absence with pay

3.7.6 For authorized leaves without pay for not over 10 days in any calendar year

3.8 An employee may not work off-duty employment while out on sick leave.

3.9 Upon termination, no payment will be made for unused sick leave.

3.10 With approval of the Human Resources Director, a new employee hired by the City whose immediate past employer was the State of North Carolina or any of its political subdivisions, may transfer to the City accumulated and unused sick leave up to 1,040 hours. The City Manager reserves the right to increase this cap in extreme circumstances. This request must be made within 10 working days from the employee’s start date. When an employee uses sick leave, the first days used shall be the days transferred under this section.
