All regularly employed firefighters of the city duly qualified under the W. Va. Code 8-15, shall be entitled to one day of sick leave per months cumulative, to a total of 12 days per calendar year. If such 12 days are not used in any calendar year, they are not cumulative in any other calendar year. Before a firefighter is entitled to sick leave, he or she shall first notify the Fire Chief of his or her illness or injury as soon as reasonably practicable, and shall thereafter produce a physician’s certificate; for illness of more than three days duration, to both the Fire Chief and the Mayor, of his or her illness or injury. The Fire Chief shall likewise be entitled to the same sick pay benefits as are accorded to other members of the Fire Department.
