in each calendar year a leave of absence with pay of one and one-half
working days for every month actually worked during the preceding
year. In addition to such annual leave any employee shall be en-
titled to sick leave with pay for not in excess of fifteen working days
in any calendar year; provided, however, that if any employee in
any calendar year uses less than the full amount of sick leave allow-
able, such unused leave shall be accumulative up to sixty working
days or more as the Commission may prescribe by rule and shall be
available to such employee for sick leave at any time. Any employee
using three or more consecutive days' sick leave shall present a
certificate from a duly licensed physician before receiving any pay
for the period of such absence. The said Commission may, by rule,
provide for granting leaves of absence for longer periods with pay
or with part pay to employees who may be disabled either through
injury or illness as a result of or arising from their respective em-
ployment, and shall make such rules as may be necessary to carry
out the provisions of this section. Any unused leave accumulated by
any of the employees of the Commission on June 1, [1947] 1961,
