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 purpose 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 his/her supervisor for such leave, stating the dates upon which he/she wishes to leave and to return, and the reason for the request. The department head must submit a written statement giving his/her 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 a department head 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. When reporting to work at the expiration of any leave of absence, an employee of this City may be required to submit to medical examinations to determine whether or not he/she is still capable of performing the duties of his/her position. 10
