The city provides benefits in case of absence due to illness or accident to the following extent:
(A) Qualifications.
(1) Sick pay applies to regular employees only. Satisfactory evidence of an employee's illness or accident must be presented to the city to qualify for sick pay benefits.
(2) The employee must adopt such remedial measures as may be commensurate with their disability and permit reasonable examinations and inquiries by a city medical representative or other representative as, in the city's judgement, may be necessary to determine the employee's condition.
(3) The employee must report the reason for absence before the end of the first scheduled work day, or, if prevented from doing so, by circumstances beyond the employee's control, must give reason for absence at the first opportunity thereafter.
(B) Benefits.
(1) In order that a regular employee will suffer no loss of pay due to sporadic illness, each employee may be paid his regular rate of pay up to a maximum of 240 hours, if eligible. Computation of sick pay credit is based on granting regular employees, who were on active payroll as of January 1, 1979, 40 hours sick pay credit plus the opportunity to earn four hours sick pay credit for each month worked after January 1, 1979, but in no case shall accumulated sick pay credit extend beyond the 240 hours maximum.
(2) Sick pay shall be reduced by the amount of any weekly benefit paid under the city group insurance plan, or any benefits paid under any federal, state, county, or city law.
(3) Illness resulting in absence of more than seven consecutive work days, is compensable under the city's health and accident insurance policy. Absence because of accident, that is not work-related, is compensable starting the first day of disability. This comprehensive plan is explained in the group insurance policy. Any questions concerning benefits should be directed to the supervisor.
(C) Workmen's Compensation. In the event an employee is injured on the job and sustains a work- related injury or illness, he is fully covered by Workmen's Compensation and will be paid the maximum benefits provided by state law. An employee who is absent due to a work-related injury or illness shall maintain his seniority rights until he is recovered or a permanent settlement under the Workmen's Compensation statute has been made.

CONDUCT; DISCIPLINE; COMPLAINTS
In order to protect the health and safety of all employees, to protect the city's goodwill and property, to maintain an orderly and efficient operation, and maintain proper standards of conduct, the city has established basic rules of conduct that employees are required to follow. These basic rules of conduct shall be posted and any employee who violates the rules or fails to maintain proper standards of conduct shall be subject to disciplinary action up to and including discharge.
(Ord. 1982-6, passed - - )
(A) The city recognizes the principle of progressive discipline for offenses that do not merit summary discharge. Depending upon the seriousness of the offense one of the following disciplinary measures shall apply:
(1) Written reprimand.
(2) Three-day suspension from work without pay.
(3) Discharge.
(B) It is felt that in most instances offenses are of minor nature and in such instances the supervisor shall discuss the matter with the employee. This oral procedure is not considered disciplinary action.
(C) Disciplinary measures that become part of the employee's personal record shall not be maintained as part of that record beyond 12 months from the date of the disciplinary action, providing there is no progressive discipline given the employee during this 12-month time period.
(D) The disciplinary procedure outlined above may not necessarily apply to probationary, part-time, or temporary employees.
