10. 6 Represented employees will have the option, subject to approval of the department
head, of converting sick leave to vacation leave on a two-to-one basis only if the employee's
remaining sick leave balance is 40 hours or more. The maximum allowable exchange will be
96 hours of sick time for 48 hours of vacation leave per calendar year. The minimum exchange
will be 8 hours sick leave for 4 hours of vacation.
An employee may convert sick leave in excess of 320 hours to vacation leave on a one-to-
one basis with a maximum of 48 hours and a minimum of 4 hours.
As a condition of converting sick leave to vacation, all employees will be required to use
at least one-half of the vacation accrued during the previous twelve months.
Such conversion, either to exchange sick leave for vacation or vice versa shall be subject
to the following conditions:
All requests to exchange sick leave for vacation time shall be submitted in writing
to the department head at least fourteen (14) calendar days in advance of intended
vacation utilization.
The granting of such exchange and subsequent use will be at the discretion of the
department head.
If twelve (12) months have elapsed since approval of the exchange of sick leave
for vacation, and the employee has not been permitted the use of the converted
vacation time, (after submitting at least one written request for utilization) the
employee will have the right to re-convert the vacation time to sick leave in
reverse ratio to the original exchange. This exchange will be allowed previously
converted only for previously converted sick time to vacation and will not be
permitted for regularly accrued vacation time.
If an employee, after converting sick leave to vacation time, exhausts all of his/her
remaining sick leave due to injury or illness, he/she may make a written request to
the department head to re-convert vacation time to sick leave on a reverse ratio
basis. Approval will be subject to an assessment by the department head.
If the employee's vacation accrual exceeds the maximum allowable accrual,
he/she will have the option to re-convert vacation time back to sick leave on a
reverse ratio basis. Such re-conversion shall be limited to previously converted
sick leave/vacation and may not exceed the amount necessary to reduce the
accrued vacation to the maximum allowable. Regularly accrued vacation time will
not be eligible for this re-conversion to sick leave and any regularly accrued
vacation time accrued in excess of the maximum allowable will be disallowed and
not subject to utilization by the employee.
NOTE: As used in this document, "reverse ratio" is intended to mean that the ratio of sick
leave to vacation will revert to the original ration at the time the initial exchange was
implemented.

SECTION 11: SICK LEAVE VERIFICATION
A Department Head or supervisor may at their discretion require employees to
furnish reasonable acceptable evidence, including a doctor's certificate, to substantiate a
request for sick leave if the sick leave exceeds three (3) consecutive workdays. A supervisor
may also require a doctor's certificate or other form of verification where leave abuse is
suspected. If it appears that an employee is abusing sick leave or is using sick leave
excessively, the employee will be counseled that the continued use of sick leave may result
in a requirement to furnish a medical certificate for each such subsequent absence for sick
leave regardless of duration. Continued abuse of leave or excessive use of sick leave may
constitute grounds for discipline up to and including dismissal.
SECTION 12: FAMILY LEAVE
The City of Cupertino will be in compliance with State and Federal Family Leave laws.
SECTION 13: PERSONAL LEAVE
The City shall allow accumulated sick leave credits to be used for medical appointments,
to care for children or members of the immediate family who because of illness cannot care for
themselves, and for medical emergencies.
SECTION 14: BEREAVEMENT LEAVE
Employees shall be granted paid bereavement leave not to exceed three (3) work days
upon the occasion of death of a close relative. Close relatives are defined as mother, father, sister,
brother, wife, husband, domestic partner, child, step-child, grandparent, grandchildren, mother-
in-law and father-in-law.
SECTION 15: MILITARY LEAVE
Military leave shall be granted in accordance with the provision of State law. All
employees entitled to military leave shall give their supervisor an opportunity within the limits of
military requirements, to determine when such leave shall be taken.
SECTION 16: PREGNANCY DISABILITY LEAVE
A pregnant employee is entitled up to four (4) months leave of absence without pay for
temporary disability resulting from pregnancy, miscarriage, childbirth or recovery therefrom.
Employees shall take unpaid leave of absence during such leave except that accrued vacation pay
and sick leave may be taken at the option of the employee.
As with all other temporary disabilities, a physician's certificate is required to verify the
_ extent and duration of the temporary disability.
10
An employee who plans to take a pregnancy leave must give reasonable notice (if
possible, not less than four (4) weeks) before the date she expects to take the leave and the
estimated duration of the leave. The City will continue to provide health and welfare benefits
consistent with the provisions of Section 6 of this agreement until the employee is released by her
physician to return to work or for sixty (60) days, whichever comes first.
SECTION 17: ADOPTION LEAVE
Upon request, a leave of absence without pay for up to four (4) weeks will be granted to
adoptive parents. Accrued vacation pay and sick leave may be taken at the option of the
employee during this leave time. The City will pay health and welfare benefits at the same rate as
prior to the leave.
SECTION 18: CATASTROPHIC LEAVE
The City's Catastrophic Leave Committee will evaluate each individual case
when it is submitted to qualify to receive funds. The only limitation is that the
employee must be the one facing the illness. The committee has the right to
establish standards for the granting of leave, and ask the applicant to submit
further documentation from their physician, and to determine the applicant's
eligibility for catastrophic leave.
All benefited employees who have passed initial probation with the City will be
eligible to receive assistance. An employee does not have to be a contributor to be
eligible.
A recipient must have used all of their available leave hours before he/she is
eligible.
The minimum time an employee could receive funds would be one week. The
maximum amount is two months (LTD becomes available at this time).
Vacation hours and compensating time off (CTO) hours are the only leave of
absence credits which may be donated. An employee may not donate leave of
absence credits which would reduce his/her total accrued leave balances to less
than 120 hours. Leave credits may be donated in any pay period. All leave
donations are irrevocable.
A leave of absence transfer drive will be held whenever necessary to provide for a
minimum catastrophic leave bank balance which is the equivalent of 40 hours.
Transfers may be in increments of one hour or more. All donations will be
confidential. There will be no selling or coercion of employees to donate.
Donated vacation leave hours will be converted to cash and deposited in a time-bank
where it will be available for distribution. Interest accruing from the bank shall be credited to the
time-bank. Checks will be issued to the recipient with the regular payroll, which will keep them
in an active employment mode with the City. This procedure prevents overpayments or
corrections since it comes after the actual leave has been taken. (Conversion allows for
adjustments for different rates of pay.) No employee shall receive payment for more than 100%
of their regular pay.
11
An employee or their representative must complete a prescribed application form together
with supporting medical documentation to the Human Resources Division when applying for
funds.
SECTION 19: ABSENCE NOTIFICATION
An employee is expected not to be absent from work for any reason other than personal
illness without making prior arrangements with his/her supervisor. Unless prior arrangements are
made, an employee who, for any reason, fails to report for work must make a sincere effort to
immediately notify his/her supervisor of his/her reason for being absent. If the absence, whether
for personal illness or otherwise, is to continue beyond the first day, the employee must notify the
supervisor on a daily basis unless otherwise arranged with his/her supervisor. In proper cases,
exceptions will be made.
Any unauthorized absence of an employee from duty shall be deemed to be an absence
without pay and will grounds for disciplinary action up to and including dismissal by the
department head. In the absence of such disciplinary action any employee who absents
himself/herself for three days or more without authorized leave shall be deemed to have resigned.
Such absence may be covered, however, by the department head by a following grant of leave
with or without pay when extenuating circumstances are found to have existed.
SECTION 20: TRAINING AND TUITION REIMBURSEMENT
It is the intent of the City to recognize the value of training to its employees; and to adopt
a training policy which will encourage employees to avail themselves of job related educational
opportunities that will advance their knowledge and interests in the direction of their career with
the City; and by doing so to improve the Municipal Service. Employees who wish to seek
reimbursement from the City for job related training program costs shall provide a written
request for reimbursement to the Human Resources Division. The form provided shall include
the type of training, sponsoring organization or institution, meeting times and costs.
Once a training program has been approved, any employee covered would be eligible for
reimbursement for job related training. However, no employee shall receive any reimbursement
until they have provided satisfactory proof of successful completion of the training program.
SECTION 21: CITY SPONSORED RECREATION PROGRAMS
City employees shall have the privilege of enrollment in City sponsored recreation
programs at City residents' fee structure and in preference to non-residents wishing to enroll.
Each calendar year, benefited employees are eligible to receive up to $500 toward City of
Cupertino recreation services in accordance with the City's Recreation Buck Policies.
Part-time benefited employees will have the annual amount prorated based on number of
hours worked.
12
SECTION 22: DUE PROCESS
In each and every instance involving the issuance of warning notices, suspensions or the
dismissal or discharge of an employee, such will not be effectuated without the employee first
having been given, in writing the basis for such action being taken and the opportunity to
question the reasons therefore of his/her supervisor or department head. Said opportunity shall be
as soon as is practical after having been served the written notice and shall not constitute any
limitation otherwise available through the grievance or appeal procedures. Any written warning
in an employee's file will be removed from the file after three years.
SECTION 23: LAYOFFS
Layoffs of employees may be made by the Appointing Authority for lack of funds, lack of
work or for other similar and just cause. The order of layoff shall be that which, in the opinion of
the Appointing Authority, will cause the lease disruption of service to the City.
Unless otherwise prevented from doing so as a result of conditions or situations beyond the
City's control, the City will provide a minimum of thirty (30) days notice to any employee
subject to being laid off pursuant to the Rule on layoffs.
SECTION 24: REINSTATEMENT
The names of employees affected by layoff shall be placed on recall list for a period of
two years in the reverse order of layoff and shall have the first opportunity for reinstatement.
Failure to respond within ten days to a written notice of such opportunity shall cause that name to
be removed from the recall list.
With the approval of the Appointing Authority, a regular or probationary employee who
has resigned with a good record may be reinstated within twenty-four months of the effective
date of resignation to a vacant position in the same or comparable class he/she previously
occupied. Upon reinstatement, the employee for all purposes, shall be considered as though they
had received an original appointment.
SECTION 25: CONTINUATION OF BENEFITS
All terms and conditions of employment not otherwise contained herein shall be
maintained at the standards in effect at the time of execution.
SECTION 26: SEPARABILITY
In the event any provision of this agreement is finally held to be illegal by a court of
competent jurisdiction or void as being in contravention of any law, rule or regulation of any
government agency having jurisdiction over the subject set forth, then the remainder of the
agreement shall continue in full force and effect unless the parts so found to be void are held
inseparable from the remaining portion of the agreement.

Nothing contained in this memorandum shall be binding upon either the City or the
Association until it has been ratified by the Association's membership and presented and
approved by the City Council of the City.

by the City with any other bargaining unit of employees during the life of this agreement will be
