Personnel Committee 4. 3. Meeting Date: 04/24/2012 By: Colleen Lasher, Administrative Services Title: Consider a Resolution to Authorize a Leave of Absence (This discussion will be closed to the public) Background: This meeting will be closed to the public as allowed by Minnesota Statute, section 13D.05, Subd. (a)(3)(4) Staff received a letter dated April 16, 2012 requesting that the City Council, per section 7.7 of the Personnel Policy, consider granting the employee a leave of absence due to a serious medical condition. At this time, the City Administrator recommends a 3-month leave of absence. If additional leave is needed following the 3-month time period, staff will bring the case back for further consideration. 7.7 Leave of Absence The City Council may grant any regular employee a leave of absence without pay for a period not exceeding 90 calendar days except that it may extend such leaves to a maximum period of one year in case the employee is disabled or where extraordinary circumstances, in its judgment, warrant such extension. No vacation leave, sick leave, holiday leave or compensatory time off benefits shall be used or accrued during a leave of absence and the City will not contribute to insurance premiums. All accrued and unused paid leave will be paid to an employee prior to the employee commencing the leave of absence. In determining entitlement to seniority and seniority -based rights and benefits, the period of absence from employment due to a leave of absence constitutes a break in service. The City of Ramsey does not guarantee job restoration after a leave of absence. Recommendation: Approve a 3-month leave of absence for an employee due to a serious medical condition. Funding Source: There is no funding required. Council Action: Motion to confirm the recommendation of the Personnel Committee to approve resolution 12-05-XXX authorizing a 3-month leave of absence to an employee due to a serious medical condition.
