Shift employees <br /> shall accrue medical leave at the rate of one day(12 hours)per month.

Medical leave may be taken as earned during the employee's probationary period. <br /> C. Frequent claiming of benefits under this rule will constitute grounds for the <br /> assumption by the Emergency Services Director that the physical condition of the <br /> employee is below the standard necessary for the proper performance of duties. <br /> Likewise,evidence of malingering or the abuse of this benefit will constitute grounds <br /> for prompt dismissal or disciplinary action by the Emergency Services Director. <br /> Employees suspected of abusing leave will be placed on notice and will be required <br /> to submit a doctor's note upon their return to work. Abuse of leave shall be defined <br /> as three occurrences in a 90 day period. For shift employees,each shift or partial <br /> shift that the employee is absent shall be an "occurrence." <br /> 26.02 EARNING OF MEDICAL LEAVE <br /> An employee on medical leave for more than fifteen(15)consecutive working days shall not <br /> accrue medical leave for that period of time. <br /> _,.i • I 1 £ . _ _ I . _ _ • <br /> 7! <br />
