Re: Unpaid Leave
The Public Works Department is requesting permission to grant additional unpaid leave to a
department employee who has exceeded the two weeks allowed under city personnel policy.
This employee previously was injured in an off -work accident and was granted unpaid leave
during the period of October to December 2021.
The employee was absent due to the imminent loss of his mother-in-law last week to attend to
family matters. The employee's mother-in-law passed away this week and the employee is
presently on funeral leave. The employee will be returning to work on Monday April 4tn
