Military Leave for Family Member Injured or Killed in Active Service <br />Employees will be granted up to ten working days of unpaid leave whose immediate family <br />member (defined as a person’s parent, child, grandparents, siblings or spouse) is a member of <br />the United States armed forces who has been injured or killed while engaged in active service. <br />The 10 days may be reduced if an employee elects to use appropriate accrued paid leave. <br /> <br />6.9 Time off to Vote <br />Employees who are eligible to vote in an election have the right to be absent from work for the <br />time necessary to appear at the employee’s polling place, cast a ballot, and return to work on the <br />day of that election without penalty or a wage deduction. Time off to Vote includes time off to <br />cast an early or absentee ballot in the employee’s registered polling location. <br />6.10 Jury Duty <br />Regular full-time called to serve as a juror, or subpoenaed as a court witness, shall receive their <br />regular pay as if they were working. Any compensation the employee may receive as a result of <br />jury duty or a witness fee, excluding mileage reimbursement if provided by the court, shall be <br />turned over to the City. Employees are expected to report to work when they are released from <br />court during regular office hours when practicable, and to make every effort to complete the <br />work assigned to them during the time they are serving as jurors or witnesses. <br /> <br />6.11 Serving as an Election Judge <br />An employee who has been selected to be an election judge may be absent from work without <br />penalty while serving as an election judge. In addition to a 20-day written notice, the employee <br />will also submit a certification from the appointing authority stating the hourly compensation to <br />be paid the employee for service as an election judge and the hours during which the employee <br />will serve. The City will pay the difference between the employee’s regular hourly rate of pay for <br />an eight-hour shift and the pay received for serving as an election judge. The employee may <br />retain mileage expenses, if applicable. The city may restrict the number of employees who are <br />absent from work to no more than 20 percent of the total work force at any single work site. <br />Employees should check the “other allowable leave” portion of the Authorization for Time Off <br />card, and write in “election judge.” <br /> <br />6.12 Family & Medical Leave (FMLA) <br />Pursuant to the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the City provides up to 12 weeks of unpaid <br />leave to eligible employees for reasons related to medical and family care.
