Neither the City nor its insurance carrier will be liable for the payment of workers’ compensation benefits for injuries that occur during an employee's voluntary participation in off-duty recreational, social, or athletic activities sponsored by the City. 6.6 Sick Child/School Child Leave In accordance with state law, the City provides the following leave for eligible employees. An eligible employee is any regular full-time or part-time employee who has been employed with the City for 12 months and has worked a minimum of 20 hours per week. For this section, “child” is defined as being less than 18 years of age, or under 20 years of age and attending secondary school. 1. Sick Child. City employees may use Sick Leave/ESST or PTO/ESST for absences due to the illness of a child in the same way that employees are able to use Sick Leave/ESST or PTO/ESST for their own illness. 2. School Child. City employees are granted up to 16 hours per school year to attend their child’s school conferences or classroom activities when they cannot be scheduled during non-work hours. Employees may take unpaid time or use paid leave for this purpose. 6.7 Funeral Leave Regular full-time employees shall be granted paid funeral leave of up to: (1) five days for the death of a spouse, child, or stepchild; (2) up to three days for a parent, stepparent, sibling, or grandchild of the employee or employee’s spouse; and (3) one day for a grandparent, niece, or nephew of the employee or employee’s spouse. 6.8 Military Leave State and federal laws provide protection and benefits to city employees who are called to military service, whether in the reserves or on active duty. Such employees are entitled to a leave of absence without loss of pay, seniority status, efficiency rating, or benefits for the time the employee is engaged in training or active service not exceeding a total of 15 workdays in any calendar year. City compensation is in addition to the military pay for these 15 days, as per MN Attorney General’s Opinion. The leave of absence is only in the event the employee returns to employment with the city as required upon being relieved from service or is prevented from returning by physical or mental disability or other cause not the fault of the employee or is required by the proper authority to continue in military or naval service beyond the fifteen-day paid leave of absence. Employees on extended unpaid military leave will receive fifteen days paid leave of absence in each calendar year, not to exceed five years. Where possible, notice is to be provided to the city at least ten working days in advance of the requested leave. A training notice, signed orders, or battle assembly schedule are examples of typical written notification to share with the city. Page 90 of 166
