thousand dollars ($30,000.00). Payment shall be made into the employee's Section 501(c)(9) Post Employment Health Plan (PERP) account as established in Exhibit G of this agreement. The costs for establishing the PEHP and ongoing administrative costs shall be borne exclusively by the Union and/or employee. For purposes of this section, if a Fire Inspector retires as such, he shall be paid on the basis of 8-hour days. The provisions of this Section 8 of this Article are effective July 3, 2014. Section 9. Other than regular shift employees in the classified fire fighting service shall accrue six and two-thirds (6.67) hours of sick leave for each month of continuous service uninterrupted by resignation or discharge up to a maximum accumulation of 200 8-hour days. Effective July 3, 2014, employees who have accumulated in excess of 1,600 hours (200 days) of sick leave shall be "grandfathered" as to the use of all excess accumulations. One day accumulated sick leave credit with pay shall be deducted from sick leave accumulated for each duty day not served due to illness. Section 10. Any 24-hour shift employee who has accumulated 2400 hours of sick leave as of each May 1st shall be granted one day's leave with pay, and any 40 hour employee who has accumulated 800 hours of sick leave as of each May 1st shall be granted eight (8) hours leave with pay, to be used at any time during the period of May 1 through the succeeding April 30. Sick leave days deducted for payments pursuant to Article 12 of this Agreement shall not be deducted from an employee's total accumulation for purposes of this section. The leave time granted employees under Sections 10 and 11 of this Article shall not be accumulated and carried over into the following period of May 1 through the succeeding April 30, except with the approval of the City Manager, or if the employee was requested to delay the taking of the leave by the Fire Chief with the approval of the City Manager. Section 11. Any 24-hour shift employee who has not accumulated 2400 hours of sick leave as of each May 1 (including employees hired after May 1, 1987) shall be each entitled to one days' leave with pay, and any 40 hour employee who has not accumulated 800 hours of sick leave as of each May 1 (including employees hired after May 1, 1987) shall be each entitled to eight (8) hours leave with pay to be used at any time during the period of May 1 through the succeeding April 30, if as of May 1 of each such annual period such employee has accumulated 75 percent (75%) of the maximum possible accumulation of sick leave that such employee could have earned since either May 1, 1987, or the employee's date of hire, whichever is later. Sick leave deducted for payments made pursuant to Article 12 of this Agreement shall not be deducted from an employee's accumulated total for purposes of this section. At such time as 75 percent (75%) of an employee's maximum possible sick leave accumulation calculated as herein described is equivalent to either 2400 hours for a 51.8 hour per week employee or 800 hours for a 40 hour per week employee, then as of the next succeeding May 1st such employee may only qualify for the leave provided in this Section 11 by meeting the standards set forth in Section 10 hereof. Section 12. A 24-hour shift employee may divide the leave day specified in Sections 10 and 11 of this Article 13 into two 12-hour paid leaves. A request for a full day of such leave by one employee shall have priority over a request for a divided day, as herein provided, by another employee only if such request for a full day is submitted prior to 12:00 P.M. on the duty day preceding the duty day so requested. All requests to divide a day of such leave must be submitted prior to mandatory sign-up. 20
