This could include leave for such <br />purposes as additional job-related education or training, or extended illness not covered by <br />accumulated sick leave. <br />For the purpose of this section, a leave of absence is defined as a privilege which may be <br />granted to an employee wishing to leave the City service in good standing without pay for a <br />limited period. Such employee must make a written request to his/her supervisor for such <br />leave, stating the dates upon which he/she wishes to leave and to return, and the reason for <br />the request. The department head must submit a written statement giving his/her reasons for <br />recommending the approval of each request, after considering such factors as employee work <br />performance, whether loss of services would be detrimental to the City's interest, availability <br />of replacements and similar pertinent factors. The City Manager may approve or disapprove <br />the recommendation of a department head to allow a leave of absence for a period not to <br />exceed six (6) months. Approval may be given to extend a leave of absence for one (1) <br />additional period not to exceed six (6) months. <br />When reporting to work at the expiration of any leave of absence, an employee of this City <br />may be required to submit to medical examinations to determine whether or not he/she is <br />still capable of performing the duties of his/her position. <br />Any employee leaving the competitive service before leave of absence has been granted is <br />absent without leave, and such conduct shall be proper grounds for discharge from the <br />service. Upon the expiration of a regularly approved leave of absence the employee shall be <br />reinstated in the position held at the time such leave was granted, unless he/she conducts <br />him herself while on such leave in a manner constituting cause for discharge. Failure on the <br />part of an employee on leave of absence to report promptly at its expiration, or within a <br />reasonable time after notice in writing to return to duty, shall be cause for discharge. <br />Section 14.
