Command Officers shall be credited with sick days in accordance with the following formula: One and one quarter (1 1/4) days shall be credited for each month of service, not to exceed fifteen (15) days per calendar year. Such days shall continue to accumulate at such rate without any maximum limitation. An employee granted a leave of absence without pay for thirty (30) calendar days or more shall not accumulate sick pay during the period the employee is on such leave.
Beginning January 1, 2010, any TPCOA member that has accumulated twenty five (25) years of service credit may have up to thirty three percent (33%) of his/her accumulated sick pay, in excess of sixteen hundred (1,600) hours, converted to compensation time annually. Sick pay selected under this program will be deducted from the Command Officer's total hours available at the time requested. Employees who accept this benefit will not be entitled to paid extension of sick time, effective with acceptance of this pay.
The Command Officer's accrued sick leave shall be reduced by the number of hours converted to cash.
Sick time transferred from other political subdivisions of the State of Ohio will be accepted in full, but shall not be applicable toward the year-end payoff. If transferred sick time is held to retirement or resignation, it may be counted together with sick time accrued after December 31, 1990 from the City of Toledo.
