(1988 Code, § 16-105)
(B) (1) Physician’s certificate. The department head may require a physician’s certificate as to the nature of the illness and as to the employee’s physical capacity to resume his or her duties for each occasion on which an employee is granted sick leave. The employee may be required to undergo a medical examination if action is deemed necessary to protect the health of other employees. The department head shall be responsible for the enforcement of this section to the end that employees shall not be on duty when their presence may endanger their health or the well being of other employees, and abuses of sick leave privileges will not be condoned or tolerated.
(2) Workers’ compensation leave. The foregoing provisions as to sick leave shall not apply to employees injured by an accident arising out of and in the course of employment, except in cases of injury causing disability of 7 days or less for which no compensation is payable under the North Carolina Workers’ Compensation Act. Any compensation which shall be made by the insurer shall be deducted from the normal wage or salary which the town shall pay.
(3) Extension and accumulation. Sick leave benefits may be extended by action of the Manager. When sick leave credits have been exhausted including any extensions, the employee may elect to use his or her vacation leave for convalescence purposes. Accumulation of unused sick leave shall be unlimited.
