40 <br />ELI <br />4D <br />• <br />ARTICLE 26 <br />MEDICAL LEAVE AND DISABILITY LEAVE <br />26.01 ELIGIBILITY <br />A. Full time permanent non -shift employees earn medical leave at the <br />rate of one work day per month starting the first full month of <br />employment. Shift employees shall accrue medical leave at the <br />rate of one day per month. For purposes of computation, one full <br />24-hour shift will be equal to two 12 -hour medical leave days. <br />B. Medical leave may be taken as earned. <br />C. Frequent claiming of benefits under this rule will constitute grounds <br />for the assumption by the EMS Chief that the physical condition <br />of the employee is below the standard necessary for the proper <br />performance of duties. Likewise, evidence of malingering or the <br />abuse of this benefit will constitute grounds for prompt dismissal <br />or disciplinary action by the EMS Chief. <br />26.02 EARNING OF MEDICAL LEAVE <br />An employee on medical leave for more than fifteen consecutive working <br />days shall not accrue medical leave for that period of time. <br />
