EXHIBIT A Paid and Unpaid Leave does not constitute a break in service for purposes of eligibility for pension and retirement benefits. Use of Vacation, Sick Leave and Holiday Pay The City may require an employee to use accrued paid vacation leave or sick leave in conjunction with any part of the employee's Family or Medical Leave. If the City does not require the employee to use accrued vacation or sick leave in conjunction with his or her Family or Medical Leave, the employee may choose to do so. If accrued vacation or sick leave is exhausted prior to the end of the Family or Medical Leave, the remainder of the Leave may be taken without pay. The use of accrued vacation and/or sick leave used in conjunction with Family or Medical Leave does not extend the length of the Family or Medical Leave. Intermittent Leave When medically necessary, a Medical Leave of Absence may be taken intermittently or as part of a reduced work schedule. In such cases, the City may require the employee to temporarily transfer to an available alternative position which better accommodates recurring periods of absences or part-time schedules, provided the position has equivalent pay and benefits. Return to Work As a general rule, an employee that is granted a Family and Medical Leave of Absence under this policy will be reinstated to the position the employee held when the leave commenced or to an equivalent position with equivalent pay, benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment. If the employee on a Family and Medical Leave of Absence is a salaried employee who is within the highest paid 10% of City employees and keeping the job open for the employee would result in substantial economic injury to the City, reinstatement may be denied in accordance with the Family and Medical Leave Act. If during the Family and Medical Leave of absence, the City experiences a layoff and the employee would have lost his/her position had the employee not been on leave, the employee is not entitled to reinstatement in the former or comparable position. An employee returning from a Family and Medical Leave of Absence of more than one month should notify his/her immediate Supervisor at least finro weeks in advance of returning to work. Upon approval of the employee's immediate Supervisor, an employee may return to part-time work at any time during the Leave period. An employee shall commence normal working hours when the Leave period has ended. A. MEDICAL LEAVE OF ABSENCE An unpaid Medical Leave of Absence will be provided in accordance with the Family and Medical Leave Act to any employee who has a serious health condition that makes the employee unable to perform the functions of his/her job. A"serious health condition" is defined as any illness, injury, impairment, or
