In addition to illness, sick leave may also be granted for medical, dental, or optical examinations or when a member of your household requires your personal care and attention due to illness. Pay and benefits during sick leave Illness pay will be based on a regular eight-hour day at straight time and at the employee's base rate. Illness absence of less than [NUMBER] hours in a day will not be considered for payment. Saturdays, Sundays, daily overtime hours, paid holidays, and paid vacation time are excluded as time for which payment will be made under this program. Weekly insurance benefits will continue to be paid commencing with the first day of certified disability due to accidents and the fourth day due to illness.
