Employees wanting to take advantage of such leave <br />are required to work with their supervisors to avoid coverage issues. <br /> <br />Employees may be absent from work without penalty or deduction from salary or wages for the <br />time necessary to vote to include voting during the period allowed for voting in person before <br />election day. <br /> <br />Section 11.22 Delegates to Party Conventions <br /> <br />An employee may be absent from work to attend any meeting of the state central committee or <br />executive committee of a major political party if the employee is a member of the committee. <br />The employee may attend any convention of a major political party delegate, including meetings <br />of official convention committees if the employee is a delegate or an alternate delegate to that <br />convention. <br /> <br />Per the statutory requirement, the employee must give at least ten days written notice of their <br />planned absence to attend committee meetings or conventions. Time away from work for this <br />purpose will be considered unpaid unless the employee chooses to use Personal Leave Time <br />and/or Comp Time leave during their absence. <br /> <br />Section 11.23 Public Official Leave <br /> <br />Any employee elected to a public office shall be permitted time off from regular employment to <br />attend meetings required by official duties. The time off shall be without pay but can be made <br />up with other hours of work or use of Personal Leave Time and/or Comp Time, subject to approval <br />of the Department Head and City Administrator. <br /> <br />Section 11.24 Regular Leave without Pay <br /> <br />The City Administrator may grant any regular full or part-time employee a leave of absence <br />without pay for a period not to exceed 90 days. Such leave without pay may be extended by the <br />City Council to a maximum of one year in the case the employee is temporarily disabled, or where <br />extraordinary circumstances, in its judgment, warrant such an extension. No Personal Leave <br />Benefit hours shall accrue, nor shall Personal Leave Benefit hours be granted to individuals on <br />unpaid leave.
