Notice will be given to the City at least fifteen (15) working days in advance of the requested leave. Notice may be waived under certain circumstances. In accordance with State law, the employee will be granted an unpaid leave of absence when called into active duty. If an employee has not yet used their fifteen (15) of paid leave when called to active duty, any unused paid time will be allowed prior to the unpaid leave of absence. Eligibility for continuation of insurance coverage will follow the same procedures as for any terminated or laid off employee while an employee is on an unpaid leave of absence for active duty. The leave of absence will not be considered work time for purposed of vacation and sick leave accrual. Returning reservists have the right to return to their jobs or to another job of similar seniority, status, and pay upon completion of active duty in accordance with M.S. 192.261, Subd. 2 and 38 U.S.C. Section 2021 and 2024. 11.2 Jury Duty Regular employees may be absent with pay when serving jury duty or when subpoenaed as a witness in court or voluntarily serving as a witness in a case in which the City is a party. To receive their normal wages, the employee must pay the City the jury duty compensation, minus any mileage or parking reimbursement. If the jury duty compensation exceeds the regular salary rate, the employee may keep the difference. 11.3 Funeral Leave Paid time off may be granted, up to a maximum of three (3) days, in the event a regular employee suffers a death in his or her immediate family, in accordance with the provisions of this Section. Additional time off without pay, or sick leave if available and requested in advance, will be granted as may reasonably be required under individual circumstances, subject to the approval of the department head. Immediate family (for purposes of this Section) is defined as an employee's parent, step-parent, spouse, child, step-child, brother, sister, step-brother, step-sister, grandparent, grandchild, spouse's parents, brother-in-law, sister-in-law or member of the immediate household. 21
