16 <br />SLPOA MOU January 1, 2023 – June 30, 2028 <br />Failure on the part of an employee on leave of absence to report to work promptly at its expiration <br />shall be cause for discharge. <br /> <br />Section 21. Pregnancy Disability Leave, Family Medical Leave & Parental Leave <br /> <br />Such leaves shall be in accordance with City Administrative Procedure 1600, Family and Medical <br />Leave Request Process; Administrative Procedure 1630, Pregnancy Disability Leave Process, <br />and applicable State and/or Federal laws. <br /> <br />A full-time employee who becomes a parent upon the birth of a child or when a child begins <br />residence with an employee who has commenced adoption proceedings or placement of a foster <br />child shall be granted forty (40) hours leave with pay at the employee’s straight time rate. In <br />addition, a parent may use one hundred twenty (120) hours of earned sick leave upon the birth of <br />a child or when a child begins residence with an employee who has commenced adoption <br />proceedings or foster care placement. Any leave granted under this provision shall run <br />concurrently with FMLA/CFRA leave and must be used within the first 12-months of birth or <br />placement with the employee. In no case will an employee be eligible for more than forty (40) <br />hours of Parental Leave in a rolling 12-month period, regardless of whether more than one birth, <br />adoption or foster care placement event occurs within that 12-month rolling time frame. <br /> <br />Section 22. Layoff <br /> <br />If a reduction in the work force, as determined by the City Manager is necessitated by, but not <br />limited to, the following: a material change in duties or organization, adverse working conditions, <br />return of employee from leave of absence, or shortage of work or funds; the City Manager shall <br />notify the affected employee(s) of the intended action and the reason for the layoff. <br /> <br />Immediately following a decision which may involve the potential layoff of employees, the City <br />Manager shall freeze all current vacancies in the Police Department in similar and related <br />classifications to those likely to be targeted for layoff and notify the Police Chief that such current <br />and anticipated vacancies will be frozen until further notice. <br /> <br />As determined by official City payroll records: all service in the employ of the City shall be counted <br />toward the establishment of an employee's City Seniority Service Date, including, for example, <br />permanent, probationary, provisional, temporary (full-time and intermittent), as well as leaves of <br />absences for obligatory military service while an employee with the City. Less than full-time <br />service will be consolidated in equivalences of full-time service for the purpose of establishing the <br />City Seniority Service Date. Time off as a result of formal disciplinary action will be subtracted <br />from the City Seniority Service Date. <br /> <br />All full-time services in the employ of the City in a promotional rank above the entry level rank <br />shall be counted toward the establishment of an employee's Seniority Service Date for that rank, <br />including probationary and permanent status service as well as leave of absences for obligatory <br />military service while an employee of the City. Time off as a result of disciplinary action will be <br />subtracted from the Rank Seniority Service Date. <br /> <br />In computing both City and Rank Seniority, all time spent on paid leave of absence shall be <br />included and all time spent on unpaid leave of absence shall be excluded. Unpaid absences <br />equal to or greater than one full pay period will extend the Adjusted Service Date, which governs <br />vacation accrual advancement. The Adjusted Service Date referenced within this section shall <br />not apply in the determination of Departmental seniority within the Police Department when used <br />for the purposes of vacation signup, shift signup, or any other bidding process that orders the
