The City may require a physician's verification of the purpose and length of the leave requested to donate bone marrow. If there is a medical determination that the employee does not qualify as a bone marrow donor, the paid leave of absence granted to the employee prior to that medical determination is not forfeited. REGULAR LEAVE WITHOUT PAY Upon consideration of a formal written request by an employee, Tthe City Administrator may authorize leave without pay for up to thirty (30) days. An additional thirty (30) days extension beyond that period may be granted at the discretion of the City Administrator. Leave without pay for greater periods may be granted by the City Council to a maximum of one (1) year. Normally employee benefits will not be earned by an employee while on leave without pay. However, the City's contribution toward health, dental and life insurance may be continued, if approved by the City Council, for leaves of up to ninety (90) days when the leave is for medical reasons and FMLA has been exhausted. If an employee is on a regular leave without pay and is not working any hours, the employee will not accrue (or be paid for) holidays, or PTO (annual leave). Employees who are working reduced hours while on this type of leave will receive holiday pay on a prorated basis and will accrue PTO (annual leave) based on actual hours worked. Leave without pay hours will not count toward seniority and all accrued PTO and compensatory time must normally be used before an unpaid leave of absence will be approved. To qualify for leave without pay, an employee need not have used all PTO (annual leave) unless the leave is for medical reasons. {Aft effiplay__ ahs _rt fv .
