City of Arden Hills Personnel Policy Effective February 29,2016 Benefit year for Personal Time Off is March 1s' through February 28th. A maximum of 240 hours of Personal Time Off may be carried over from benefit year to benefit year. Carry-over beyond 240 hours of Personal Time Off will only be made under special circumstances with approval from the City Administrator. All employees must receive permission from the department supervisor or City Administrator at least ten (10) working days prior to taking Personal Time Off when Personal Time Off is to extend for a period of more than three (3) consecutive days. If three (3) consecutive days of unscheduled Personal Time Off are used, the supervisor shall make an inquiry into the employee's absence, and the employee shall cooperate in authorizing the supervisor to obtain any necessary medical, hospital or other records that validate the unscheduled absence. If the Personal Time Off is to be for eight (8) hours or less, permission will be granted without notice if their supervisor feels that City service will not be adversely affected. Priority will be given to Personal Time Off scheduling based on the earliest date of request. Personal Time Off scheduling for departmental employees is the responsibility of the department managers. No employee will be permitted to use Personal Time off for the purpose of receiving double pay. Any employee leaving the service of the City in good standing will be compensated 100% for Personal Time Off accrued, not to exceed 240 hours, to the day of separation provided said employee has served at least twelve (12) consecutive months prior to separation and has given the City at least two weeks notice prior to the effective date of such separation. Such pay for accumulated Personal Time Off will be at the same rate as the hourly rate of the employee's base salary. Personal Time Off may not be used to extend an employee's actual termination date. This benefit shall be paid into the employee's Post-Retirement Health Care Savings Plan. When a paid holiday falls on a working day during an employee's Personal Time Off, the day of the holiday will not be counted as a day of Personal Time Off. One (1) day of Personal Time Off shall equal eight (8) hours for full time employees. In the case of disability from a work related disease or injury for which Worker's Compensation benefits are available, an employee may elect to use Personal Time Off benefits rather than Worker's Compensation benefits by notifying the Director of Administrative Services of their election. Under no circumstances can an employee receive both Personal Time Off and Worker's Compensation benefits for the same period of disability, except if the employee elects to receive Worker's Compensation benefits he/she may also use Personal Time Off to the extent necessary to increase their income to their net wage prior to the injury or onset of the disease. 45
