Sick leave entitlement clarified: medical certificate rules and full-pay accrual for long-serving employees' service conditions. Employees are entitled to sick leave on half pay with annual accrual and a service-wide maximum; during the first year accrual is pro rata. A medical certificate may not be required for very short sick absences, but where sick leave exceeds that short period a medical certificate of fitness must be produced before resuming duty. Employees with a minimum qualifying period of service may be permitted full-pay sick leave up to a specified maximum during their service, and such full-pay leave shall be entered in the sick leave account as twice the amount of leave taken.
