A. Bereavement Leave. Appointive officers shall be granted up to five days to attend or assist in bereavement services for an immediate family member as defined by state law or individual as approved by the mayor or the mayor’s designee within one year of death.

B. Sick Leave. Upon employment with the city, appointive officers (with the exception of those individuals covered by LEOFF 1 retirement system who shall be noneligible) shall have available immediately ten days of sick leave with pay. All eligible appointive officers shall accrue sick leave at a rate of two days per month to a total maximum of one hundred twenty work days. While still actively employed with the city of Everett, should any monthly disability payment be made to the eligible appointive officer as a benefit resulting from any insurance coverage provided by the city, the city shall only pay the difference between the amount of the benefit and the appointive officer’s normal monthly salary. In no case, shall such sick leave payment exceed one hundred and twenty work days at eight hours per day. (Ord. 3785-20 § 6, 2020; Ord. 1696-90 § 1, 1990; Ord. 1594-89 § 1(E), 1989.)
