Each employee with more than five (5) years of consecutive calendar serv- ice, shall be granted eight work days of vacation leave. Each employ- ee with more than eight (8) years of consecutive calendar service, shall be granted nine (9) work days of vacation leave. Each employee with more than fifteen (15) years of consecutive calendar service shall be granted twelve (12) work days of vacation. Each employee with more than twenty (20) years of consecutive calendar service shall be granted fourteen (14) work days of vacation. Each employee with less than a full calendar year of service in the calendar year preced- 3 ing shall be granted a vacation in the succeeding year on a prorated basis equal to the percentage of the year worked as bears to the prescribed vacation period.

On separation, all vaca- tion shall be paid in proportion to the time worked. ARTICLE V SICK LEAVE All employees shall be entitled to sick leave credits on the following basis: All Chief Officers shall accumulate sick leave with pay at the rate of one (1) working day for each month of service, an unlimited accumulation of sick leave. A Chief Officer may use sick leave with pay for absence necessitated by injury or illness, or exposure to contagious disease when confirmed by a physician. In order to qualify for sick leave payment, an employee must: a. Report his absence to his Chief prior to the start of each work day. b. Keep his Chief informed on the condition if the absence is more than one working day. c. Submit a doctor' s certificate for such absence upon request of the employer. The certificate must state the kind and nature of sickness or injury and whether the employee has been incapacitated for such period of absence. d . Apply for such leave according to the procedure established by the employer. e . Record of sick leave will be maintained by the Personnel Office. It is recognized that the serious injury or illness of the spouse or child of the employee may adversely affect the ability of the employee to perform his duties efficiently and may necessitate the use of sick leave. However, no leave shall be granted under this subsec- tion if the spouse of the employee is employed and continues to work during the absence of the employee. Any leave granted for reasons listed in this subsection shall be subject to the general sick leave provisions with approval of the Fire Chief. 4 In addition to the employee ' s right to accumulate sick leave without limitation, unused accumulated sick leave up to 100 days shall be paid at 35� the employee ' s rate in effect at the time of separa- tion, death or disability for those employees who retire at normal retirement age or older. Maximum is 35 work days. Section 2-138 (d) (4) of the Oshkosh Municipal Code provides as follows: "Upon written election by the employee filed with the Director of Administration, an employee injured while on duty and otherwise covered under the provisions of the Workmen's Compensation Act, may use accumulated sick leave so as to draw as paid sick leave an amount which equals the difference between regular salary and Workmen's Compensation weekly benefits and such sick leave accumulations charged with 1/3 of a day for each such day; in the case of inembers of the police and fire departments for the first year of injury. See Sections 2-162 and 2-163 of this Code. " ARTICLE VI EMERGENCY LEAVE Each employee shall be allowed three (3) consecutive calendar days off with pay in the event of the death of such employee's mother, father, son, daughter, wife, father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother, sister, or step-child, step-father, step- mother, grandchildren, grandparents or guardian. In the event an employee is called off from duty because of the death of an above relative, that duty day shall not be counted as part of the three (3) day leave provision. ARTICLE VII HOLIDAY LEAVE All Chief Officers shall receive six (6) working days off duty with pay in lieu of the following holidays: New Year ' s Day, Good Friday afternoon (1/2 day) , Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve afternoon (1/2 day) , Christmas Day, and two Floating Holidays which shall be earned at the rate of 2/10 day for each month worked, but not to exceed two days. These Chief Officers may, at their option, forfeit the time off and receive six (6) days at the employee ' s current rate. Employees selecting the option payment must notify the department prior to September lst of the current budget year for the following year. 5 ARTICLE VIII LEAVE OF ABSENCE WTHOUT PAY Request for leave of absence without pay for justifiable reasons as determined by the employer will be granted for reasonable periods of time by the employer except that no employee shall be granted a leave of absence in order to seek other employment. ARTICLE IX WAIVER OF RIGHTS Neither party to this agreement by such act at the time hereof or subsequent hereto agrees to and does waive any rights possessed by it or them under state and federal laws, regulations or statutes. In the event any clause or portion of this Agreement is in conflict with Statutes of the State of Wisconsin governing municipalities or other Statutes, such clause or portion of the Agreement shall be declared invalid and negotiations shall be instituted to adjust the invalidated clause or portion thereof. ARTICLE X PRESENT BENEFITS The employer agrees to maintain in substantially the same manner such present benefits not specifically referred to in this Agreement that pertain to wages, hours, or conditions of employment. ARTICLE XI TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT The employer shall pay all monies due employees upon the termina- tion of employment and shall furnish such employees with a statement of employment if requested to do so by such employee. ARTICLE XII PENSION In addition to the Statutory requirements, the employer shall pay to the retirement fund up to 8� of the employees gross wages. 6 ARTICLE XIII Uniform Allowance The employer will provide a uniform allowance of Two Hundred and Twenty-five Dollars ($225. 00) per year to be paid in January of each year.
