An employee may also be able to use available PTO/ESST. Additional time <br />off without pay will be granted as may reasonably be required under individual circumstances, subject <br />to the approval of the City Administrator. <br /> <br />Immediate family (for purposes of this section) is defined as an employee's spouse, parents, spouse's <br />parents, children, stepchildren, brothers and sisters, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, grandparents, <br />grandparents-in-law, grandchild, and spouse's grandchild. <br /> <br />Voting <br /> <br />Every employee who is eligible to vote in an election has the right to be absent from work for the time <br />necessary to appear at the employee's polling place, cast a ballot, and return to work on the day of that <br />election or for voting in person before Election Day, without penalty or deduction from salary or <br />wages because of the absence. Generally, this time should be taken at the beginning or end of the <br />regular work schedule. Where possible, the should be notified at least two days prior to the voting day. <br /> <br />Election Judge <br /> <br />An employee who is selected to serve as an election judge is permitted to be absent from work, after <br />giving their supervisor at least 20 days' written notice. The written notice must include the <br />certification from the appointing authority stating the hourly compensation to be paid to the employee <br />for service as an election judge, and the hours during which the employee will serve. <br /> <br />Time off under this policy is paid, and employees' salary or wages will be offset by the City by the <br />amount paid to the employee by the appointing authority during the employee's absence. Employees <br />taking time off under this policy may instead elect to take a paid vacation day, if available, in which <br />case no offset will occur with the amount paid by the appointing authority. <br /> <br />The City may restrict the number of employees to be absent from work for the purpose of serving as an <br />election judge to no more than 20 percent of the total workforce at any single worksite. <br /> <br />Jury and Witness Duty <br /> <br />A. Regular full-time and regular part-time employees shall be granted paid leaves of absence for <br />required jury duty. Such employees shall receive that portion of their regular compensation <br />that will, with their jury pay, equal their total compensation for the same period. The time <br />spent on jury duty shall not be counted as time worked in computing overtime. Employees <br />excused or released from jury duty during their regular working hours shall report to their <br />regular work duties as soon as possible. <br /> <br />B. Employees shall notify their supervisor in writing as soon as possible after receiving notice to <br />report for jury duty. The employee will be responsible for ensuring that a report of time spent <br />on jury duty and pay form is completed by the Clerk of Court each day so the City will be able <br />to determine the amount of compensation due for the period involved.
