5. An employee may donate no more than sixteen hours per calendar year to a single fellow employee. This shall not be construed to prohibit donating sixteen hours each per year to additional fellow employees. 6. A written request to donate sick leave must be made to the City Council via the City Administrator. 7. The City Administrator shall have the right to deny use of donated sick leave or limit its use as shall be determined necessary to the best interests of the City. 10 UNPAID LEAVE OF ABSENCE 10.1 General The City Administrator may authorize an unpaid leave of absence for up to ten (10) days. Unpaid leave of absence for greater periods must be authorized by the City Council. 10.2 Effect on Benefits " No employee benefits will be earned by an employee while on unpaid leave of absence and an employee will not accrue or be paid holiday pay, vacation or sick leave while on leave of absence. Leave of absence hours will not count toward seniority and all accrued vacation must normally be used before an unpaid leave of absence will be approved. To qualify for an unpaid leave of absence, an employee need not have all sick leave earned. However, leave without pay for purposes other than medical leave, child care, or work-related injuries will be at the convenience of the City. 10.3 Eligibility Decisions on unpaid leave of absence requests will normally take into consideration the employee's performance, length of service and the general interest of the City. A. Medical Leave. A regular employee who has completed the initial probationary period and is unable to work because of illness or injury and who has exhausted all accrued sick leave may, upon request, be granted a medical leave of absence without pay up to six (6) months. The City, at its discretion, may renew such leave. 18
