Sick Leave - Physician's Certificate <br /> <br /> The employee's supervisor or department head may require a physician's <br />certificate concerning the nature of the illness and the employee's physical <br />capacity to resume duties for each occasion on which an employee uses sick <br />leave to insure that there is no abuse of sick leave privileges. <br /> <br />Section 16. Sick Leave - Retirement Credit for Accumulated Sick Leave <br /> <br /> One (1) month of retirement credit is allowed for each twenty (20) <br />days and part thereof accrued in an employee's sick leave account at time <br />of retirement to employees who are members of the North Carolina Local <br />Governmental Employees' Retirement System or Law Enforcement Benefit and <br />Retirement Fund. <br /> <br />Section 17.

This only applies <br />to governmental entities that were the employees place of employment <br />immediately prior to their employment with Cabarrus County. <br /> <br />Section 18.

Such an employee <br />may have deducted from his accumulated vacation or sick leave that fraction <br />of a day which is the same as the fraction that the supplemental payment <br />for one day is of a regular day's pay. Upon reinstatement, an employee's <br />salary will be computed on the basis of the last salary earned plus any <br />increment or other salary increase to which the employee would have been <br />entitled during the disability covered by Workmen's Compensation. <br /> <br /> Temporary employees will be placed in a leave without pay status and <br />will receive all benefits for which they may be adjudged eligible under the <br />Workmen's Compensation Act. <br /> <br />Section 21.
