Accumulated sick leave is available to employees for the period of temporary disability in the same manner as for any other temporary disability. The attending physician shall indicate in writing the period during which the employee is physically unable to work. Maternity leave for up to a total of twelve weeks is available for the time before the employee is disabled, during the disability itself, and the period of time after the disability ends. The employee may elect to use accumulated annual leave (1) before going on sick leave, (2) after accumulated sick leave has been exhausted, and/or (3) after the temporary disability has ended. If an employee is temporarily disabled as a result of a pregnancy-related disability and has exhausted all available leave and compensatory time, that employee shall be eligible to receive leave without pay for personal disability under the provisions of Section ~4-22 of this article.

Military Leave Regular employees who are members of the National Guard or Armed Forces Reserve will be allowed ten (10) workdays per calendar year military training leave. If the compensation received while on military leave is less than the salary that would have been earned during this same period as a County employee, the employee shall receive partial compensation equal to the difference in the base salary earned as a reservist or guardsman and the salary that would have been earned during this same period as a County employee. The effect will be to maintain the employee's salary at the normal level during this period. If such military duty is required beyond this ten (10) workday period, the employee shall be eligible to take accumulated annual leave, or be placed in a leave-without-pay status. Reservists called to active duty, with no training period preceding the active duty, shall be allowed to charge up to ten days per year of active duty as military training and receive pay for these days.

Civil Leave A regular County employee called for jury duty, or as court witness for the federal or State governments or a subdivision thereof, shall receive leave with pay for such duty during the required absence without charge to accumulated annual or sick leave. An employee may keep fees and travel allowances received for jury or witness duty in addition to regular compensation, except that employees must mm over to the County any witness fees or travel allowances awarded by that court for court appearances in connection with official duties. While on civil leave, benefits and leave shall accrue as though on regular duty. Section t930.

An employee granted educational leave with pay shall agree in writing to return to their regular work schedule with the county upon completion of training and to remain in the employ of the county for a period equal to twice the educational leave received, or to reimburse the county for all compensation received while on educational leave and tuition costs reimbursed to the employee for the course.
