General Leave The city recognizes that circumstances of a unique personal nature may cause an employee to seek time off without pay. The city may, at its sole discretion, grant unpaid personal leaves of absence to employees (General Leave). Approval is required of the employee's immediate supervisor, the department director and the city administrator before General Leave will be granted. In no event will General Leave be granted for longer than ninety (90) days, unless special approval is received from the city administrator. Vacation and sick leave will not accrue during a General Leave. Further, the employee on General Leave will not be eligible for holiday pay during the leave. The city will not contribute to the cost of insurance premiums for an employee on General Leave. Employees are expected to return from General Leave when the reason for the leave expires. Employees who take a General Leave have no right to reinstatement. Voting Leave Per state statute, every employee eligible to vote in an election has the right to be absent from work for the time necessary to appear at the employee's polling place, cast a ballot and return to work on the day of that election without penalty or deduction from salary or wages because of the absence. -The city or other person may not directly or indirectly refuse, abridge, or interfere with this right or any other election right of an employee. An election means a regularly scheduled state primary or general election, an election to fill the vacancy in the office of United States Senator, United States Representative, State Senator or State Representative, or a presidential primary. The city will provide an employee with paid time off to serve as an election judge; provided that s/he gives at least 20 days advance written notice. The city will reduce the employee's pay by the amount the employee is paid to serve as an election judge. Administrative Leave Under special circumstances, an employee may be placed on an 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. 28
