18.4.3 Death Purina Service. The estate of any full-time employee who dieswhile in City service and prior to retirement, even though the employee isnot credited withat least 15 years of service in any applicable retirementplan:
18.4.4 Death of Terminated Employee. The estate of any full-time or eligiblepart-time employee who had terminated service with the City in goodstanding but had retained vesting rights in a retirement system accordingto provisions in the SanJose Municipal Code, and dies (on or after July10. 1977) prior to becoming eligible for retirement allowances as citedunder provisions of the SanJose Municipal Code,and has at the timeofdeath credit for at least fifteen (15) years of service in the applicableretirement plan.
18.5 Effective June 22/ 2013, for purposes of calculating a sick leave payout, employees'sick leave balances and hourly rates shall be frozen. This meansthatan employeewillreceive no more for a sick leave payout, after having met the reguirements set forth
above, than he or she would have been entitled to on June 22, 2013. Any sick leaveusage after June 22. 2013. will come first from the sick leave balance accrued afterJune22, 2013. An employeewill continue to accrue sick leave after June 22. 2013, butit may not be used for sick leave payout purposes.
For example, if an employee's hourly rate is $20 and his or her sick leave balance is250 hours on June 22. 2013. then if he or she meets the eligibility reguirementscontained herein, the payout of a sick leave balance at the time of retirement will bebased on the formula below, and shall be based on no more than 250 hours and anhourly rate of no more than $20. Thiswill occur even if the employee has subsequentlyearned more than 250 hours in sick leave or received a pay increase to an hourly ratehigher than $20. In this example, if the employee does not have available sick leave to
use thatwas accrued after June 22, 2013, and uses sick leave and reduces their sickleave balance on June 22, 2013. to 50 hours, theywill only be entitled to a sick leavepayout of 50 hours, regardless of any sick leave accrued after June 22, 2013. Thismeansthat if sick leave pavout hours are reduced bv usage, thev are not able to be reestablished in the sick leave balance subject to payout.
18.6 Pavout shall be determined as follows.
18.6.1 Pavout shall be determined as follows: If a full-time or eligible part-timeemployee at the time of retirement or death has earned unused sick leavehours, the employee or Estate shall be paid the eguivalent of a specified
percent of their hourly rate of pay as of June 22. 2013. multiplied bv thetotalnumber of accumulated and unused hours of sick leave as of June 22, 2013(minus any sick leave hours as of June 22, 2013. which were used), as
follows:
18.6.2 Less than 400 hours - Hoursaccumulated x 50% of final hourly rate;
or 400 - 799 hours - Hours accumulated x 60% of final hourly rate;
or 800- 1200 hours - Hoursaccumulated x 75% of final hourly rate.
