Leave of absence without pay is a temporary non-pay status and absence from duty granted at the request of the employee. Leave of absence without pay may be granted by the Mayor and Common Council for a period not to exceed six (6) months, upon the positive recommendation of the Chief and the City Administrator. Under justifiable conditions, said leave may be extended by the Mayor and Common Council for additional periods. A leave of absence without pay will be considered favorably if it is to be expected that the employee will return to duty and that at least one of the following benefits will result: increased job ability, protection or improvement of the employee's health, retention of a desirable employee, or furtherance of a program in the interest to the City. Examples or conditions for which a leave of absence without pay may be granted are: 1. For an employee who is a disabled veteran requiring medical treatment. 2. For an employee who is temporarily mentally or physically unable to perform his duties. 3. For an employee who files for or assumes elected office. 4. For maternity or paternity leave, upon the recommendation of the attending physician. 5. For military leave when the employee has less than one(1) year of service to qualify for leave with pay. An approved leave of absence without pay for less than 60 days in any calendar year will not be considered a break in service. Leave in excess of 60 days shall result in the advancement of the employee's anniversary date and compensation advancement date to such date as will account for the total period of uncompensated time off. Failure to return to duty at the expiration of the approved leave of absence without pay shall constitute an automatic resignation. B. The City's contribution towards an employee's health and life insurance premiums will not be extended beyond the last day of the month in which the absence without pay begins if the leave of absence without pay becomes effective during the first 15 days of the month nor beyond the last day of the next succeeding month if the leave of absence without pay becomes effective after the 15th day of the month, unless the employee is returned to work from leave of absence without pay status prior to the date the City's contribution would be discontinued. In the event the employee desires to maintain full health and life insurance coverage while on leave of absence without pay status, he may arrange to pay the insurance premiums for the coverage desired (both the employee and the employer portions). It is the responsibility of the employee to contact the payroll section in this regard. The payment of the amount of the premiums must be made to the payroll section prior to the date on which the City's participation will terminate. Payments must be made monthly thereafter until the employee either returns to work or his employment with the City is terminated. 28 Police Safety MOU C. Upon an employee's return to work, the City's contribution towards the employee's health and life insurance premiums will begin on the first day of the month following the end of the leave of absence without pay if that leave of absence without pay terminates between the 1st and 15th days of the month, or on the 1st day of the next succeeding month if the leave of absence without pay terminates after the 15th day of the month. D. Notwithstanding any other provision of this section to the contrary, the City will continue its contribution for health and life insurance premiums of an employee on leave of absence due to any injury or illness arising out of and in the course of his or her employment with the City. ..::::nKn.v.'r:•+Y.
