Common use of Leaves - Generally Clause in Contracts

Leaves - Generally. No employee may be absent from his/her job without an approved leave. An approved leave shall be vacation leave, personal leave, funeral leave, holiday leave, family or parental leave, military leave, special leave, leave due to short term or long term disability, or a leave of absence without pay. A. Absence from duty without approved leave, or following an approved leave, for three (3) consecutive work days shall be deemed a resignation from the City service by the absentee; and upon a report of such absence by the Department Head to the Director of Human Resources, the absentee shall be removed from the City service and the fact of removal shall be noted in the employee’s personnel file; provided that if any time within ten (10) days that person so absenting himself/herself shall make satisfactory written application to the City Manager of cause of his/her absence, he/she may be reinstated to his/her position. B. It is the policy of the City of Midland to provide eligible employees with family and medical leave consistent with the provisions of the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (“FMLA”). All leaves that qualify under the Family and Medical Leave Act, whether paid or unpaid, will be designated as FMLA leave. C. In the event an employee requests a leave on an intermittent basis or reduced leave schedule, the employee shall provide as much notice as is reasonably possible and appropriate certification of medical necessity, or proof of the birth or adoption of a child. The City reserves the right to temporarily transfer the employee in a position that has equivalent pay and benefits and that better accommodates recurring periods of leave.
