(1) Each permanent full-time employee of the city of North Bend shall be entitled to accumulate sick leave with pay at the rate of one day for each full month of employment; provided, however, that sick leave shall not be accumulated beyond a maximum of 90 days.

(2) No employee shall be entitled to the benefits of sick leave with pay until such employee has served a probationary period of six months, after which time such employee will be entitled to an accumulation of sick leave at the rate provided herein commencing from the date of his employment.

(3) Any employee receiving disability benefits by virtue of any law now or hereafter enacted shall be entitled to sick leave pay only in the amount that such pay exceeds the amount of such disability payment, and deductions from accumulated sick leave time shall be made in the proportion that the actual amount paid by the city during such sick leave bears to the total rate of pay of such employee.

(4) An employee shall be entitled to receive benefits under the sick leave provisions of this chapter when it is reported to his department head that he is unable to report to work due to illness or injury, but if it is found that an employee fraudulently obtains sick leave benefits, he may be suspended or discharged without further cause.
