RESOLUTION #20-10
WHEREAS, the Brandon City Council, from time to time, updates the Brandon Personnel Manual, and
WHEREAS, the Brandon City Council has found it necessary to include a Family and Medical Leave Policy in the Manual.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the following be included in the Brandon Personnel Manual, titled: 6.10 Family and Medical Leave Policy.
It is the policy of the City of Brandon to comply with the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) as required by law. The purpose of this policy is to provide employees with a general description of their FMLA rights. In the event of any conflict between this policy and the applicable law, employees will be afforded all rights required by law.
In accordance with the requirements of FMLA, employees who have been employed by the city for at least 12 months and worked at least 1,250 hours during the 12 months immediately preceding the proposed beginning date of FMLA leave may receive up to 12 weeks of FMLA leave with or without pay within a 12-month period calculated back from the beginning date of the FMLA leave, only for the purpose of caring for their newborn, newly adopted, or newly placed foster child, to care for a seriously ill child, spouse, or parent, for a serious personal medical condition rendering the employee temporarily unable to work, or for certain military-related needs. The City will require certification of an employees or family member’s serious health condition. Failure to provide timely certification may result in denial of FMLA.
If an employee has available paid leave benefits at the time FMLA leave is required, the FMLA leave will run concurrently with the use of those paid leave benefits until they are exhausted or until the available 12-week FMLA leave period ends, whichever comes first. If an employee’s available paid leave benefits are exhausted prior to the end of the 12-week FMLA period, the remainder of the period shall be granted as unpaid leave. FMLA leave may, in certain circumstances, be taken intermittently. Failure to return to work after FMLA leave has expired will result in termination of employment.
Health and dental insurance benefits will be maintained for the employee/dependents during the FMLA leave period provided that the employee continues to pay the employee portion of the premium for that insurance as required. If the employee chooses not to return to work from an unpaid FMLA leave for reasons other than a continued serious health condition or other circumstances beyond the employee’s control, the employee will be required to reimburse to the city the amount paid by the city for the employee’s health insurance premium during the leave. Except as to key level employees, employees returning from FMLA leave shall be returned to their previous or a similar position with the same rate of pay as they received prior to the commencement of the FMLA. For more information about FMLA leave, contact the City Director of Human Resources or the City Administrator.
