Therefore, the City Attorney has drafted language to add to the Personnel Policy for "Minnesota Paid Leave (MNPL)". Given the inclusion of this language, City staff requested that the City Attorney complete a comprehensive review of all other leave provisions within the personnel policy to make sure we were compliant with state law regulations (i.e. MNPL, Election Judge) as well as consistent with our terminology and intent for the various types of leave. Other personnel policy proposed amendments as recommended by the City Attorney: • Breaks section is being amended to comply with law changes that go into effect January 1, 2026. • Pregnancy and Parenting Leave to strike that employees are required to use accrued PTO during leave. • Elections/Election Judges/Time Off To Vote section is being amended to comply with state law.
