employee's regular base wage for regularly scheduled work hours, for up to a specified number of working days or <br />hours. The benefit would, if approved, become available on the employee's first scheduled work day after the <br />baby's birth or placement for adoption and would be applied prior to other accrued leave. In the unlikely event that <br />any unused time remained after 12 weeks, the benefit would be forfeited. Multiple births or adoptions (i.e. twins, <br />triplets), medical conditions, and/or other circumstances would not increase the length of paid leave granted. For the <br />purpose of this benefit, holidays would not be counted as a regularly scheduled work day and would not be <br />included in the work day or hours count. The City's benefit contributions and leave accruals would continue during <br />paid parental leave. However, accruals would not exceed policy or contractual maximums allowed for each <br />respective leave. Paid parental leave would run concurrently with FMLA, MN Parental Leave and would not extend <br />the length of these leaves or programs. <br />Any change in benefits for union employees would need to be negotiated with the respective bargaining units. <br />Non -union employee benefit changes would need to be amended into the city's Personnel Policy. <br />Timeframe: <br />Up to 15 minutes. <br />Funding Source: <br />Not applicable at this time. <br />Responsible Party(ies): <br />Administrative Services Director, Colleen Lasher <br />Outcome: <br />For the City Council to to provide staff with feedback on whether or not to offer paid parental leave. <br />Attachments <br />No file(s) attached. <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 02/20/2020 03:09 PM <br />Form Started By: Colleen Lasher Started On: 02/20/2020 10:09 AM <br />Final Approval Date: 02/20/2020 <br />
