The earned sick leave shall be cumulative from year to year to a maximum of two hundred (200) working days. The maximum number of accumulated sick days for employees with more than 200 as at January 1, 1990 shall not increase, but shall decrease by usage until it falls below 200 whereupon the maximum of 200 shall apply. 9.2 Permanent part-time employees shall receive sick leave credits pro-rated against the full-time employee entitlement based on the percentage of hours worked in the previous year. For example, a part-time employee who, in the previous year, worked 1,095 hours compared to that of a full-time employee would be entitled to 56% (fifty-six per cent) of the full-time employee's sick leave allotment (1,095 divided into 1,957), or 12 paid sick days in the following year (21 X 56%). For the purposes of this calculation, a permanent full-time employee is deemed to work 1,957 hours per year, and the sick leave credits shall be rounded to the nearest half-day. 9.3 There shall be no sick leave remuneration caused by accident or illness for which an receiving workers' compensation benefits. for absence employee is 9.4 No credit shall be given to an employee in any month who is absent from duty in that month, (1) without leave, or (2) for more than eleven (11) working days for any reason other than vacation, workers compensation, or leave of absence. 9.5 After three days' absence because of illness, no leave with pay shall be allowed unless a certificate by a duly qualified medical practitioner is forwarded certifying to the inability of the employee to attend work, and if the sickness continues, from time to time thereafter as the Town requires. 9.6 Employees, upon termination, shall receive no credit remuneration for unused accumulated sick leave, with exception of those employees qualifying under section below. or the 9.8 9.7 Annually, by February 28th, each department head will be provided with a statement from the payroll department, indicating the number of days accumulated, used and remaining for each employee in his or her department.

For those employees having five (5) years of service or more prior to the 7th day of May, 1981, they will receive pay equal to 50% (fifty per cent) of the number of accumulated days up to the 7th day of May, 1981, paid on termination or retirement at the rate of pay he or she is receiving at the time of termination or retirement. The payment shall be charged against the Sick Leave Reserve established by the Town of Kincardine. Illness While on Vacation An employee who becomes ill while on vacation shall not be placed on sick leave until after termination of the vacation. Under exceptional circumstances in case of serious illness, sick leave may be granted at the discretion of the administrator. The employee would then be entitled to the unused portion of his/her vacation after recovery from the illness. Minor illnesses and injuries may cause some degree of discomfort or disability to an employee while on vacation. Yet for the most part, these do not necessitate complete removal from the vacation setting or loss of the beneficial effects of the holiday. However, when an employee on vacation becomes seriously ill or injured, he or she should be entitled to sick leave based upon medical evidence. The decision as to when an illness or nonoccupational injury is sufficiently severe to justify transfer from vacation to sick leave should be made on medical grounds. Normally, hospitalization or complete confinement to bed in the home under regular physician's care have been the criteria used to judge severity, often after consultation with the attending doctor. "Exceptional circumstances" may include a number of things such as the employee's -hospitalization, the need for the employee to be flown home from a trip abroad, becoming seriously ill while on vacation. The decision to transfer from vacation to sick leave must be based on reliable medical evidence and made by the administrator on a physician's advice. All cases of requests for such consideration must be referred to the administrator without exception. An employee may appeal the administrator's decision to the committee of the whole. The committee of the whole, in camera, will deal with appeals to the administrator's decision, and the committee of the whole's decision shall be final. PENSION BENEFITS AND RETIREMENT Canada Pension Plan deductions are made from all employees up to the maximum amount required to conform to t~e provisions of the Canada Pension Plan.

However, the portion of the premium paid by the Town shall be pro-rated against a full-time employee's entitlement based on the percentage of hours worked in the previous year. For example, if the Town pays 100% of the premium cost for a full-time employee, a part-time employee who worked 1,095 hours in the previous year will pay 56% of the premium (1,095 divided into 1,957 hours). For the purposes of this calculation, a regular full-time employee is deemed to work 1,957 hours per year. The cost of the employee's share of benefits shall be deducted from the employee's pay cheque. (d) Coverage commences on the first day of the third month following an employee's date of hire. (e) In the event that a permanent full-time employee dies while employed by the Town, the Town shall continue to pay extended health care, vision plan, and dental plan premiums on behalf of that employee's dependents for a period of two (2) years from the date of the employee's death, provided the employee's share of the premiums is remitted to the Town. This section shall not apply if the insurance company in effect at the time does not offer this benefit as an option.
