Unauthorized Absence <br /> Unauthorized absences from work for a period of three (3) consecutive work <br /> days may be considered as a resignation without proper notice. <br /> Checking Out <br /> The letter of resignation is given to the Human Resource Representative. See <br /> Section 4.35 for check-out procedures and further information. <br /> D. RETIREMENT <br /> Retirement is defined as separation from City employment when the employee is <br /> immediately eligible, based on age and/or service requirements, for an annuity <br /> from a Minnesota public pension plan such as Public Employees Retirement <br /> Association (PERA). Service can be all PERA service credits, or combined <br /> service with one or more of the other state covered funds. Employees who <br /> intend to retire are encouraged to obtain forms and benefit information from their <br /> retirement program administrator well in advance of their estimated retirement <br /> date. <br /> E. DEATH <br /> If termination of employment is caused by death of the employee, any wages <br /> earned but not paid and any unused vacation benefits will be paid to the estate of <br /> the deceased employee. All such payments are subject to ordinary State and <br /> Federal payroll deductions. <br /> In some instances the guidelines listed above may not be practicable. The City <br /> Administrator reserves the right to make exceptions to the above policy in <br /> unusual circumstances. <br /> POLICY: INSURANCE AND BENEFIT CONTINUATION SECTION: 4.10 <br /> The City is required under federal and state laws to offer employees the continuation of <br /> certain benefits when qualifying events have occurred, such as termination of <br /> employment, retirement, disability or death. This policy is intended to be a general <br /> summary of the applicable continuation laws but if this information conflicts with the <br /> applicable state or federal law, the law will supersede and be implemented by the City. <br /> A. HEALTH AND DENTAL INSURANCE <br /> State and federal laws allow for the continuation of health and dental insurance <br /> benefits for terminated or laid off employees of the City for up to 18 months at the <br /> former employee's expense. In the event an employee is separated from their <br /> employment with the City based on their total disability, health and dental <br /> insurance benefits will be available at the former employee's expense for an <br /> additional period of time as established by state and federal law. <br /> 3 Revised: July 25,2011 <br />
