City of Arden Hills Personnel Policy Effective February 29,2016 <br />ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE <br />Under special circumstances, an employee may be placed on an administrative leave <br />pending the outcome of an internal or external investigation. The leave may be paid or <br />unpaid, depending on the circumstances, as determined by the city administrator or <br />his/her designee with the approval of the City Council. <br />ADOPTIVE PARENTS <br />Adoptive parents will be given the same opportunities for leave as biological parents (see <br />provisions for Parenting Leave). The leave must be for the purpose of arranging the <br />child's placement or caring for the child after placement. Such leave must begin before or <br />at the time of the child's placement in the adoptive home. <br />SCHOOL CONFERENCE LEAVE <br />Any employee who has worked half-time or more for more than twelve (12) consecutive <br />months, may take unpaid leave for up to a total of sixteen (16) hours during any 12- <br />month period to attend school conferences or classroom activities related to the <br />employee's child (under 18 or under 20 and still attending secondary school), provided <br />the conference or classroom activities cannot be scheduled during non-work hours. <br />When the leave cannot be scheduled during non-work hours and the need for the leave is <br />foreseeable, the employee must provide reasonable prior notice of the leave and make a <br />reasonable effort to schedule the leave so as not to disrupt unduly the operations of the <br />City. Employees may choose to use PTO hours for this absence, but are not required to <br />do so. <br />BONE MARROW DONATION LEAVE <br />Employees working an average of 20 or more hours per week may take paid leave, not to <br />exceed 40 hours unless agreed to by the City, to undergo medical procedures to donate <br />bone marrow. The City may require a physician's verification of the purpose and length <br />of the leave requested to donate bone marrow. If there is a medical determination that <br />the employee does not qualify as a bone marrow donor, the paid leave of absence granted <br />to the employee prior to that medical determination is not forfeited. <br />REGULAR LEAVE WITHOUT PAY <br />Upon consideration of a formal written request by an employee, The City Administrator <br />may authorize leave without pay for up to thirty (30) days. An additional thirty (30) days <br />extension beyond that period may be granted at the discretion of the City Administrator. <br />Leave without pay for greater periods may be granted by the City Council to a maximum <br />of one (1) year. <br />50
