<br />: <br /> Page 39 <br />Employees excused or released from jury duty during their regular working hours will report to <br />their regular work duties as soon as reasonably possible or will take accrued Personal Leave Time <br />and/or Comp Time to make up the difference. <br /> <br />Employees are required to notify their supervisor as soon as possible after receiving notice to <br />report for jury duty. The employee will be responsible for ensuring that a report of time spent on <br />jury duty and pay form is completed by the court clerk so the City will be able to determine the <br />amount of compensation due for the period involved. <br /> <br />Section 11.10 Victim or Witness Leave <br /> <br />An employer must allow unpaid leave to a victim or witness, who is subpoenaed or requested by <br />the prosecutor to attend court for the purpose of giving testimony to attend criminal proceedings <br />related to the victim’s case. Additionally, a victim of a violent crime, as well as the victim’s spouse <br />or immediate family member (immediate family member includes parent, spouse, child or sibling <br />of the employee) may have reasonable time off from work to attend criminal proceedings related <br />to the victim’s case. An employee must give a 48 hour advance notice to the City of their need to <br />be absent unless it is impracticable, or an emergency prevents them from doing so. The City may <br />request verification that supports the employee’s reason for being absent from the workplace. <br /> <br />Section 11.11 Bereavement Leave <br /> <br />Full-time employees may be granted unpaid leave for a maximum of four working days for <br />bereavement leave in the event of death in the employee's immediate family. Employees may <br />choose to use Personal Leave Time and/or Comp Time and/or ESST leave hours for this absence <br />but are not required to do so. <br /> <br />Additional time off for funeral leave may be granted by the City Administrator for unusual and <br />extenuating circumstances and shall be charged to the employee’s accumulated Personal Leave <br />Time and/or Comp Time <br /> <br />Section 11.12 Job Related Injury or Illness <br /> <br />All employees are required to report any job-related illnesses or injuries to their supervisor <br />immediately (no matter how minor). If a supervisor is not available and the nature of injury or <br />illness requires immediate treatment, the employee is to go to the nearest available medical <br />facility for treatment and, as soon as possible, notify their supervisor of the action taken. In the <br />case of a serious emergency, 911 should be called. <br /> <br />If the injury is not of an emergency nature, but requires medical attention, the employee will <br />report it to the supervisor and make arrangements for a medical appointment. <br /> <br />Workers’ compensation benefits and procedures to return to work will be applied according to <br />applicable state and federal laws.
