54 Time off for the funeral leave of any other relative or friend may be granted by the Department Head, but such time off shall not be eligible for funeral leave pay and shall be charged to the employee’s vacation leave or taken as time off without pay. Section 4.07 Job Related Leave A job related leave policy has been established to grant employees an extended period of time off without pay for job related reasons. A regular full-time employee may request a period of time off without pay for a period of not less than three (3) or more than six (6) months. The employee must substantiate the request for such leave by relating it to the exploration of career change, to educational advancement which would enhance present position performance, or because of stress factors associated with the employee's present situation. Procedures for approval and policies regarding status of benefits and continuation of insurance stated under “Unpaid Leave of Absence” shall also apply to job- related unpaid leaves of absence. Section 4.08 Jury Duty Regular full-time and part-time employees will be granted paid leaves of absence for required jury duty. Such employees will be required to turn over any compensation they receive for jury duty, minus mileage reimbursement, to the City in order to receive their regular wages for the period. Time spent on jury duty will not be counted as time worked in computing overtime. Employees excused or released from jury duty during their regular working hours will report to their regular work duties as soon as reasonably possible or will take accrued vacation or compensatory time to make up the difference. Employees are required to notify their supervisor as soon as possible after receiving notice to report for jury duty. The employee will be responsible for ensuring that a report of time spent on jury duty and pay form is completed by the clerk of court so the City will be able to determine the amount of compensation due for the period involved. Temporary and seasonal employees are generally not eligible for compensation for absences due to jury duty, but can take a leave without pay subject to department head approval. However, if a temporary or seasonal employee is classified as exempt, he/she will receive compensation for the jury duty time. Section 4.09 Court Appearances Employees will be paid their regular wage to testify in court for City-related business. Any compensation received for court appearances (e.g. subpoena fees) arising out of or in connection with City employment, minus mileage reimbursement, must be turned over to the City.
