: Page 42 Under special circumstances, an employee may be placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of an internal or external investigation. The leave may be paid or unpaid, depending on the circumstances, as determined by the City Administrator with the approval of the City Council. Section 11.18 School Conference Leave Any employee may take unpaid leave for up to a total of sixteen hours during any 12-month period to attend school conferences or classroom activities related to the employee’s child (under 18 or under 20 and still attending secondary school), provided the conference or classroom activities cannot be scheduled during non-work hours. When the leave cannot be scheduled during non-work hours and the need for the leave is foreseeable, the employee must provide reasonable prior notice of the leave and make a reasonable effort to schedule the leave so as not to disrupt unduly the operations of the City. Employees may choose to use Personal Leave Time and/or Comp Time leave hours for this absence but are not required to do so. 30 Section 11.19 Bone Marrow/Organ Donation Employees working an average of 20 or more hours per week may take paid leave, not to exceed 40 hours, unless agreed to by the City, to undergo medical procedures to donate bone marrow or an organ. The 40 hours is over and above the amount of accrued time the employee has earned. The City may require a physician’s verification of the purpose and length of the leave requested to donate bone marrow or an organ. If there is a medical determination that the employee does not qualify as a bone marrow or organ donor, the paid leave of absence granted to the employee prior to that medical determination is not forfeited. An employer shall not discharge, discipline, penalize, interfere with, or otherwise retaliate or discriminate against an employee for asserting bone marrow or organ donation leave rights or remedies. Section 11.20 Elections Judge Leave An employee selected to serve as an election judge pursuant to Minnesota law, will be allowed time off with pay for purposes of serving as an election judge, provided the employee gives the City at least twenty days written notice, including a certification from the appointing authority stating the hourly compensation to be paid the employee for service as an election judge and the hours during which the employee will serve. The City may reduce the wages of an employee serving as an election judge by the amount paid to the election judge by the appointing authority during the time the employee was absent from the place of employment. Thus, employees will be paid the difference between their pay as an election judge and their regular rate of pay for their normal workday.
