Water Pollution Control Plant <br />After submittal of a jury summons at least two weeks prior to the date of service, Water <br />Pollution Control Division employees, if practical, shall be assigned to the Monday through <br />Friday dayshift until released from jury duty. <br />Day Shift <br />Any day shift employee scheduled to report for jury duty before 12 noon shall not be required <br />to work beforehand. Any day shift employee released from jury duty prior to 12:30 p.m. shall <br />report to work for the balance of the shift. <br />Section 13. Leave of Absence Without Pay <br />A leave of absence may be granted to an employee when it would improve the quality of the <br />employee's job performance for the City government or when such leave is in other ways <br />considered to be in the best interest of the City service. 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 the <br />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 of <br />replacements and similar pertinent factors. The City Manager may approve or disapprove the <br />recommendation of a department head to allow a leave of absence for a period not to exceed six <br />(6) months. Approval may be given to extend a leave of absence for one (1) additional period <br />not to exceed six (6) months. <br />When reporting to work at the expiration of any leave of absence, an employee of this City may <br />be required to submit to medical examinations to determine whether or not he/she is still <br />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 service. <br />Upon the expiration of a regularly approved leave of absence the employee shall be reinstated <br />in the position held at the time such leave was granted, unless he/she conducts him/herself while <br />on such leave in a manner constituting cause for discharge. Failure on the part of an employee <br />on leave of absence to report promptly at its expiration, or within a reasonable time after notice <br />in writing to return to duty, shall be cause for discharge. <br />Section 14. Holidays <br />All full-time regular employees, except as hereinafter provided, shall be entitled to the <br />following holidays provided that if such employee fails to report for scheduled work on any of <br />such holidays, he/she shall receive no pay: New Year's Day; third Monday in January (Martin <br />Luther King's Birthday); Lincoln's Birthday; third Monday in February (Washington's <br />Birthday); last Monday in May (Memorial Day); Independence Day; Labor Day; November 11 <br />(Veterans' Day); Thanksgiving Day; the day after Thanksgiving; one-half (%) day on the day <br />10 <br />
