Every classified employee shall receive as vacation [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.] of such number of days as the Commission may specify by
regulation, and the regulation may be amended or revised by the Com-
mission from time to time. Any regulation adopted hereunder shall
provide for not less than ten days nor more than thirty days in any
year, and the number of days specified shall be generally consistent
with the vacation leave schedules obtaining in other governmental
agencies in the area of the Washington Suburban Sanitary District.
In addition to such annual leave any employee shall be entitled to sick
leave with pay for not in excess of fifteen working days in any calen-
dar year; provided, however, that if any employee in any calendar
year uses less than the full amount of sick leave allowable, such un-
used 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 grant-
ing 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 employment, 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, 1961, shall be credited to their respective
leave records.

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall take effect
