TO: Mayor Watford & City Council DATE: December 13, 2021
THRU: City Administrator Ritter��i
FROM: City Clerk/Personnel
Administrator Gamioteac� �
& Public Works Director Allen�
SUBJECT: Personal Unpaid Leave
Extension-Request for
Approval
We have an employee who was approved for Family Medical Leave due to a serious,
non-work related, health condition and was absent the full 12-weeks beginning
September 7, 2021. The FMLA leave ended November 29, 2021. Unfortunately, he is
not being released to return to work until January 1, 2022. He has also exhausted all his
accrued paid leave while on FMLA. The Employee Policies and Procedures only
provides for a Department Head to approve up to two-weeks per calendar year for
unpaid leave.
Public Works Director Allen is requesting that the employee be approved to be absent
on unpaid personal leave the remainder of the month of December. The employee's
health care provider has submitted a Fitness-For-Duty Medical Certification that the
employee can return to work as of January 1, 2022. If this is acceptable to the City
Council, a motion would be appropriate to approve unpaid personal leave for Greg
Whidden from December 20, 2021, through January 2, 2022.
Please call me with any questions.
