LEAVE OF ABSENCE
1. Except for those employees who are covered by the provisions of a
Memorandum of Understanding, leave of absence may be granted to regular
employees by the City Manager for urgent and substantial reasons, up to a
maximum of one year, providing satisfactory arrangements can be made to
perform the employee's duties without undue interference with the normal
routine of work. Inability to return to work after an employee's sick leave
has been exhausted will be considered as an urgent and substantial reason
and in such cases a leave will be granted.
2. A leave will commence on and include the first workday on which the
employee is absent and terminates with and includes the workday preceding
the day the employee returns to work.
3. All applications for leave of absence shall be made in writing
except when the employee is unable to do so. The conditions under which an
employee will be restored to employment on the termination of leave of
absence shall be clearly stated by the City in conjunction with the granting
of a leave of absence. Upon an employee's return to work after a leave
of absence, he will be reinstated to his former position and working conditions,
providing that he is capable of performing the duties of his former position,
except that if there has been a reduction of forces or his position has been
eliminated during said leave, he will be returned to the position he would be
in, had he not been on a leave of absence.
4. An employee's status as a regular employee will not be impaired by
such leave of absence and his seniority will accrue.
5. If an employee fails to return immediately on the expiration of his
leave of absence or if he accepts other full-time employment while on leave,
he will thereby forfeit the leave of absence and terminate his employment
with the City.
6. An employee on a leave of absence as provided herein shall not accrue
vacation or sick leave benefits nor maintain group insurance coverage. An
employee may, however, at his option and expense, maintain his group insurance
coverage providing the full monthly premium is received in the Finance Depart-
ment of the City on or before the first day of the month for which the premium
is intended.. Notwithstanding the above, however, if the leave of absence is
as a result of exhaustion of sick leave benefits an employee's group insurance
may be maintained for up to three (3) calendar months on the normal premium -
sharing formula, providing the employee pays his share of the premium on a
timely basis.
