Employees should give their supervisor thirty days advance notice of an anticipated absence or as much advance notice as is practicable under the circumstances. Unauthorized absences and absences in excess of what is allowed under this policy, except for an approved leave of absence, will be considered abuses of this policy and are grounds for disciplinary action. 4) Full-time employees are eligible to be compensated for regular base wages lost during certain periods of authorized absence to the extent that they have accumulated days of paid absence, i.e. vacation, sick leave, floating holidays, comp time, as provided under this policy. However, not all absences authorized under this policy will be compensated. 5) Generally, regular full-time and part-time employees may be granted up to four (4) consecutive workdays paid administrative leave, with the approval of the City Manager, for the purpose of arranging or attending funeral services and/or bereavement in the event of the death of an immediate family member. Death includes miscarriages. 6) Regular part-time employees who work twenty or more hours per week are eligible to receive compensation for short-term absences on the same basis as full-time employees, except that their accumulated days will be accrued on a pro rata basis that relates the average number of hours per week worked to a regular forty-hour week. (For example, a part-time employee working twenty hours per week would be eligible for one-half the paid time-off that a full-time employee receives.) Part- time employees working less than twenty hours per week, temporary employees, and intermittent employees are not eligible for compensation for short-term absences but may take unpaid absences if approved by the City Manager, or his/her designee.
