Each employee shall be entitled for each completed eighty (80) hours of service, sick leave of three and two-tenths (3.2) hours with pay. Employees may use sick leave, upon approval of the responsible administrative officer of the employing unit, for absence due to personal illness, pregnancy, injury or death in an employee’s immediate family. Unused sick leave shall be accumulated up to 120 days. When sick leave is used, it shall be deducted from the employee’s credit on the basis of one hour for every one hour of absence from the previously scheduled workday. Each employee shall furnish a satisfactory written signed statement to justify sick leave. If medical attention or after three consecutive days of sick leave are used, a certificate stating the nature of the illness from a licensed physician may be required to justify the use of sick leave. Payment for unused sick leave shall be the same as provided for under the Ohio Revised Code. Sick leave is not counted towards hours worked for overtime purposes.
