28 <br /> SECTION 16 - LEAVES WITHOUT PAY <br /> <br />Parenting Leave - Parenting leave without pay, not to exceed six (6) months in duration, will be <br />granted upon the birth or adoption of a child (or children) at the employee's request. This leave may be <br />extended through the use of the employee's accumulated PTO leave. <br /> <br />Emergency/Furlough Leave - Permission to take emergency leave without pay may be granted to each <br />regular employee after one year's service who, in the opinion of the City Administrator, furnishes <br />adequate proof that a personal matter necessitates attention. The City Administrator may also grant <br />furlough leave to a city employee for leaves without pay provided such furlough leave does not create <br />an undue hardship on the City. No longer than ten (10) days will be granted within a calendar year. <br />Requests in excess of ten (10) days may be granted by the City Council. <br /> <br />No employee shall absent themselves from assigned duties without notifying, at the earliest possible <br />time, his/her immediate supervisor or some other management representative if supervisor is not <br />available. <br /> <br />Leaves of Absence - Upon request of an employee, leave of absence without pay may be granted by the <br />City Council, taking into consideration good conduct, length of service, and efficiency of the employee, <br />and the general good of the city service. Such leave of absence shall not exceed a period of ninety (90) <br />days, provided that the same may be extended beyond such period if the leave of absence is for <br />continued disability or other good and sufficient reasons, but in no case exceed one (1) year except <br />when the employee is detailed for military service or is disabled for disability incurred while in the <br />service of the City. No PTO benefits shall accrue during a period of leave of absence without pay. For <br />purposes of this policy, an employee on Short or Long Term Disability is not considered to be on a <br />leave of absence. <br /> <br />Employees on Leaves of Absence – Employees on leaves of absence (when PTO has been exhausted) <br />would be responsible for payment of insurance benefits for any full month that they are on leave. <br />When the employee works any number of days in a month, the employee would accrue PTO and <br />holiday hours pro-rated, and the City would pay the cost of health, Opt-Out, and life insurance pro- <br />rated based on the number of days the employee worked in the month in question versus the total <br />number of regular working days in the same month. <br /> <br />An unpaid leave of absence may be granted to an employee to offset prospective PTO pay <br />contributions to the employee’s Post Employment Health Savings Plan, subject to approval by the City <br />Administrator. In this case, PTO benefits shall accrue during the leave of absence without pay. <br />Leaves Due to Weather Conditions - In the event an employee is unable to report for work because of <br />extreme weather conditions (e.g. winter blizzard), such employee may, upon the approval of the <br />supervisor, be granted leave without pay or use PTO or compensatory time for the day or days in <br />question. Such employee may also be allowed, upon approval of the supervisor, to make up the time <br />lost at straight time rate by working extra hours before or after his/her regular shift. <br /> <br /> <br />Military Leave - Employees ordered by proper authority to National Guard or reserve military service <br />in time of war or other properly declared emergency shall be entitled to leave of absence without pay
