Leaves of Absence – General Provisions. All non-medical requests for leave and requests for extensions of leave must be submitted in writing to the employee’s department head or his designee. All requests for a medical leave of absence must be submitted to the Human Resource/Benefits division. Employees must continue to make any required employee contributions for health or other benefits. All leaves-of-absence (excluding military leave) shall be limited to a maximum of 180 calendar days in any 12-month period of time, measured forward from the date of the first leave. Absences exceeding this maximum shall constitute just cause for termination of employment. No further accrual of sick time and/or annual leave shall be permitted after thirty (30) consecutive calendar days. Health, disability, pension, life insurance, and other benefits shall not be suspended during approved medical leaves-of-absence so long as the employee makes any required contribution. Should an employee fail to return from any approved leave of absence at the end of the approved period, it shall be considered abandonment of the employee's position and his resignation. Upon completion of the employee’s leave of absence, the City will attempt to return him to the original job or to a similar position, reinstatement, however, is not guaranteed.
