EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />Notice <br />When the need for a Family Care Leave is foreseeable based on planned <br />medical treatment, the employee must give the City at least 30 days' notice <br />before the date the Family Care Leave is to begin. When the need for Family <br />Care Leave is unforeseeable, the employee must provide notice as soon as <br />practicable. <br /> <br />C. PARENTAL LEAVE <br />Eligible employees will be provided an unpaid leave of absence of up to 12 work <br />weeks for the birth or adoption of a child (including any necessary court <br />appearance), or for the placement of a child in foster care, in accordance with the <br />Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993. The Parental Leave may begin at a time <br />designated by the employee and must start within 12 months from the date of the <br />birth, adoption or placement of the child. Employees who have used other forms <br />of Family and Medical Leave during the preceding 12 months period are still <br />eligible for six weeks of Parental Leave, although leave in excess of the 12 <br />weeks is subject to the limitations imposed by the Minnesota Parenting Leave <br />Act, including discontinuation of payments by the City for insurance premiums <br />and limitations on the timing of the leave. <br /> <br />Upon written request, the City Clerk-Administrator may authorize leave in excess <br />of 12 work weeks up to a maximum period of six months. <br /> <br />Employees who have been employed for the previous 12 months and have <br />worked more than 1,040 hours but less than 1,250 hours required under the <br />Federal Family and Medical Leave Act are eligible for six weeks of unpaid leave <br />under the Minnesota Parenting Leave Act. Parental Leave under the Minnesota <br />Parenting Leave Act must begin within six weeks of the birth, adoption, or <br />placement of the child in foster care, unless the child is hospitalized at birth. <br />Employees are responsible for all insurance premiums during such leave. <br />Parental Leave may not be extended by use of other forms of paid leave. Return <br />to work is administered in the same way as with other Family and Medical <br />Leaves. <br /> <br />Notice <br />When the need for a Parental Leave is foreseeable, such as the expected birth, <br />adoption or placement of a child, the employee must provide the City with at least <br />30 days' notice. If the exact date of the birth, adoption or placement is <br />unforeseeable, the employee must provide notice as soon as practicable. <br /> <br />D. MILITARY FAMILY LEAVE <br />Eligible employees will be provided up to twelve (12) weeks of unpaid leave of <br />absence for “any qualifying exigency” arising out of the fact that an employee’s <br />spouse, son, daughter or parent is on active duty or have been notified of an <br />impending call to active duty status in the National Guard or Reserve in support <br />of a contingency operation. The period for talking Military Family Leave shall be <br />measured forward from the first date an employee takes leave and shall expire <br />twelve (12) months thereafter. A “qualifying exigency” includes the following <br />categories:
