10.8 <br /> <br />Authorized Absence Without Pay - Long Term. Upon receipt of a written request from an <br />employee having permanent status, plus action by the Department Head recommending <br />approval of the request, the City Manager may grant a leave of absence without pay for up <br />to six (6) months. <br /> <br />An employee returning to duty with the City shall inform the Department Head and the <br />Executive Director of Personnel Services of his or her intention at least thirty (30) calendar <br />days prior to the expiration of the six (6) month period, or shorter period if the full six (6) <br />months is not taken. Upon receipt of such notice, the Department Head will take steps <br />necessary to restore the employee to his or her former position. <br /> <br />In addition to the above, the City Manager may grant a further extension not to exceed a total <br />of one (1) year leave of absence without pay. <br /> <br />10.9 <br /> <br />Industrial Leave. Any period of time during which an employee is required to be absent <br />from his or her position by mason of an industrial injury or industrial illness for which he or <br />she is entitled to receive compensation shall not be considered a break in continuous service <br />for the purpose of his or her right to salary adjustments or to the accrual of vacation and <br />seniority. <br /> <br />10.10 <br /> <br />Pregnancy Disability Leave. A pregnant employee is entitled to a reasonable leave of <br />absence without pay for any temporary disability resulting from pregnancy, miscarriage, <br />childbirth or recovery therefrom. Such reasonable leave of absence shall not exceed four (4) <br />months. However, an employee may be granted up to an additional two (2) months of leave, <br />at the discretion of the City Manager, for a total of up to six (6) months in which to recover <br />from the disability if substantiated by a physician's certificate. <br /> <br />Employees may take an unpaid leave of absence during pregnancy disability consistent with <br />the law. <br /> <br />As with all other temporary disabilities, a physician's certificate is required to verify the <br />extent and duration of the temporary disability. <br /> <br />An employee who plans to take a pregnancy leave must give a reasonable notice (not less <br />than four (4) weeks) before the date she will take the leave and the estimated duration of the <br />leave. Health and welfare insurance coverage will be continued only if the employee pays <br />a cash premium to continue coverage while on a leave of absence without pay or is covered <br />under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) or California Family Rights Act (CFRA) <br />provisions. <br /> <br />44 <br /> <br /> <br />
