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 /> <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 /> <br />Section 14. Holidays <br /> <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); second Monday in February (Lincoln's Birthday); third Monday in <br />February (Washington's Birthday); last Monday in May (Memorial Day); Independence Day; <br />Labor Day; November 11 (Veterans' Day); Thanksgiving Day; the day after Thanksgiving; one- <br />half (½) day on the day before Christmas and one-half (½) day on the day before New Year's <br />Day; Christmas; and every day proclaimed a City holiday by the Mayor. Except for continuous <br />24/7 operations, when a day herein listed falls on an employee's regular day off, he/she shall be <br />entitled to a day off in lieu thereof within the calendar year. The day selected shall be subject to <br />approval of the department head. When such day herein listed falls on a Sunday or Saturday, <br />such day off in lieu thereof shall be the Monday following or Friday preceding respectively, <br />except as hereinafter provided and except if Christmas Day or New Year's Day falls on a <br />Sunday or Monday the one-half (½) day provision will be applicable the preceding work day. <br />Continuous operations, as designated by the Department Head, will observe the actual holiday <br />for compensation purposes. <br /> <br /> Each employee represented by the Union shall be entitled to one (1) floating holiday which <br />shall be scheduled at a time mutually convenient to the employee and the department head. The <br />floating holiday must be taken during each calendar year and may not be carried over to another <br />calendar year or converted to pay. Such holiday shall be granted to employees hired on or <br />before September l of each calendar year. <br /> <br /> During the 2013 calendar year, subject to an agreed upon holiday closure, employees will be <br />granted one (1) additional floating holiday to be taken within the 2013 calendar year. This one <br />(1) additional holiday may not be carried over to another year or be converted to pay. These <br />days will be pro-rated to the nearest half-day for individuals working less than the full year. <br /> <br /> To the extent that operating conditions allow, employees are to be given the day off on the date <br />of the holiday. Where operating conditions require established organized shifts to be regularly <br />staffed without regard to holidays, the department head shall designate by list the positions <br />required to be staffed. The list of positions so designated shall be subject to approval of the <br />City Manager, and shall be filed with the Human Resources Department and the Finance <br />Director. <br /> <br />11
