SECTION 18 MATERNITY LEAVE <br />Leaves of absences shall not ordinarily be granted because of pregnancy. However, <br />the City Administrator may recommend that the Council grant an official leave of <br />absence without pay because of pregnancy when they feel it is in the best interest <br />of the City and where the particular skills of the employee are especially <br />valuable, thereby warranting the filling of the vacated job on a temporary basis. <br />Sick leave shall not be paid during such leave and there shall be no accrual of <br />other benefits during a maternity leave. <br />The maternity leave shall not extend beyond four months. The employee shall <br />notify the City Administrator at least (30) days prior to the commencement <br />date of the leave of her/his desire for a leave. At that time she/he shall <br />indicate an end date to the leave. When the employee returns to work she/he shall <br />be reinstated to her/his original position or a position in a same or similar <br />class with the same pay range. The City Administrator may require that the employee <br />produce medical certification that she/he is fit to return to work. A request for <br />an extension of a maternity leave of absence beyond the four month limit may be <br />authorized by the City Administrator. <br />
