City of Arden Hills Personnel Policy'_` Effective February 29, 2016 <br />ri` 1 ILN HILLS Amended December- ' n October 28, 2019 <br />If an employee does not return to work following 12 weeks of FMLA leave, the employee <br />may be subject to COBRA continuation. <br />If the employee fails to pay the City a portion of the premiums for which he or she is <br />responsible during the FMLA leave and the employee fails to return to work, coverage may <br />end. Loss of coverage for failure to pay premiums is not a qualifying event for purposes of <br />continuation coverage under COBRA. <br />If the employee does not return from the FMLA leave and coverage ended sometime <br />during the FMLA leave due to lack of payment, there is no COBRA election available. For <br />COBRA to apply, the employee must have been covered on the day before the qualifying <br />event. In this situation, the qualifying event would occur at the time the employee did not <br />return from the leave. <br />Activities Prohibited During FMLA <br />While on leave, an employee may not engage in activities (including employment) which <br />have the same or similar requirements and essential functions of an employee's current <br />position. <br />While on leave, an employee may not engage in any activity that conflicts with the best <br />interests of the City. Such conduct will result in disciplinary action up to and including <br />termination of employment. <br />Seniority <br />Seniority does not accrue during any period of unpaid FMLA except as allowed when the <br />leave is covered by Worker's Compensation. However, seniority accrued prior to <br />commencement of FMLA leave will not be lost. <br />Use of Accrued Paid Leave or Compensatory Time During Family and Medical <br />Leave <br />Prior to taking unpaid FMLA leave employees must use all accrued PTO (annual leave) and <br />compensatory time i 6gr to tft'_--~a -- ~pftid4 w-= unless their medical condition/injury is <br />covered by worker's compensation or- the absefiee qualifies ufider- 41e state Par-enta4 Les <br />i,.___ (see n,.y„fit ff Lea „ Pali.._.). <br />Any paid disability leave benefits or sick leave available to employees for covered reason <br />(an employee's serious health condition or a covered family member's serious health <br />60 <br />
