and the regular daily rate of pay for each day of jury service up to a maximum of fifteen (15) working days during any twelve (12) consecutive months. Employees scheduled to work the graveyard shift immediately preceding a day of jury duty as above defined will not be required to work such shift and will receive jury duty pay in lieu thereof, subject to the foregoing maximum limitation. Any day or swing shift employee scheduled to begin service on a jury before 12:00 noon shall not be required to report to work beforehand. Any employee released from jury duty prior to 12:30 p.m., shall report to work for the balance of the shift. An employee who is scheduled for jury service or who serves on a jury on Friday and Monday will not be required to work on a Saturday or Sunday unless it is at the overtime rate of pay. Days of jury duty and all fees paid shall be verified by the court official responsible for issuing checks in payment of jury service. Service not paid for by the court is not covered by this section. Section 19. Leave of Absence Without Pay A leave of absence may be granted to an employee when it would improve the quality of the employee's job performance for the City government or when such leave is in other ways considered to be in the best interest of the City service. This could include leave for such purposes as additional job-related education or training, or extended illness not covered by accumulated sick leave. For the purposes of this section, a leave of absence is defined as a privilege which may be granted to an employee wishing to leave the City service in good standing without pay for a limited period. Such employee must make a written request to the supervisor for such leave, stating the dates of leave and return and the reason for the request. The Police Chief must submit a written statement giving the reasons for recommending the approval of each request, after considering such factors as employee work performance, whether loss of services would be detrimental to the City's interest, availability of replacements and similar pertinent factors. The City Manager may approve or disapprove the recommendation of the Police Chief to allow a leave of absence for a period not to exceed six (6) months. Approval may be given to extend a leave of absence for one (1) additional period not to exceed six (6) months. At the expiration of any leave of absence, an employee of this City may be required to submit to medical examinations to determine that the employee is still capable of performing the duties of the position. An employee absent before leave of absence has been granted is absent without leave, and such conduct shall be proper grounds for discharge. Upon the expiration of a regularly approved leave of absence the employee shall be reinstated in the position held at the time such leave was granted, unless while on such leave the employee's conduct constitutes cause for discharge. Failure on the part of an employee on leave of absence to report to work promptly at its expiration shall be cause for discharge. Section 20. Maternity Leave/Family Leave Such leave shall be in accordance with applicable State and/or Federal law. ]3
