coverage,Basic Employee Term Life Insurance,and Short Term Disability Insurance,
subject to Section XI.A.3.

of the insurance premiums. The employee and employer will agree in writing as
to the way the employee-paid portion of the group health benefit plan premium
payments will be paid,under the four allowable options:
a. Payment would be due at the same time as it would be made if by payroll
deduction;
b. Payment would be due on the same schedule as payments are made under
COBRA;
c. Payment would be prepaid pursuant to a cafeteria plan at the employee's
option;or
d. Prepayment of the employee-paid portion of the group benefit plan premiums
through increased payroll deductions before the leave is taken,when the need
for unpaid FMLA leave is foreseeable,or payment of the employee-paid
portion of the group benefit plan premiums through increased deductions
after the employee returns to work following unpaid FMLA leave when the
need for unpaid FMLA leave is not foreseeable.
42
3. If the employee-paid portion of the group health plan benefit premium is more
than 30 days late,the City's obligation to maintain group health plan insurance
coverage will cease.

prior to the date coverage will be cancelled that payment has not been
received.

from the date the premium was due,whichever is greater,to make the
required premium payment(s).
c. If the employee fails to pay his/her portion of the group health plan benefits
premium(s),the employee will lose his/her group health plan benefit
coverage.
B. The City is not responsible for maintaining non-health care related benefits paid
directly by the employee through voluntary deductions(dental,supplemental,and
dependent life insurance,accident insurance plans,or LTD). It is the employee's
responsibility to make arrangements through the Benefits Section of Human
Resources(535-7900)for the payment of those benefit premiums when on unpaid
FMLA leave.
C. If an employee fails to return to work after unpaid FMLA leave has ended,the
employee shall reimburse the City all City-paid group health plan benefit premiums it
paid on behalf of the employee unless the failure to return from leave is due to:
1. the continuation,recurrence,or onset of a serious health condition of the
employee or the employee's family member which would otherwise entitle the
employee to leave under FMLA;
2. other circumstances beyond the employee's control.
D. An employee is considered to have returned to work following FMLA leave if he/she
returns for at least 30 calendar days.
E. An employee's seniority will not be inten-upted if the employee utilizes paid leave
while on FMLA leave. Once paid leave is exhausted,no seniority or pension credit
will be accumulated for the unpaid FMLA leave time. Upon return from unpaid leave
the employee's seniority will continue where the accumulation left off.
XII. RETURN TO WORK AFTER FMLA LEAVE
A. Upon retum to work following FMLA leave,the employee must provide a medical
certification of the employee's fitness to return to work if the FMLA leave was taken
for the employee's own serious health condition.
B. If the employee fails to provide a fitness certificate after being notified by the City of
the need for the certificate,the City,through its designee,may delay the employee's
return to work until the fitness certificate is provided.
C. An employee will be returned to his/her job or an equivalent job with equivalent pay,
benefits,and working conditions,if the original job is not available.
D. Key employees that earn salaries in the top ten percent of Salt Lake City
Corporation's workforce and whose return would cause"substantial and grievous
economic injury"or hardship to the City's operations may not be reinstated.
E. The City may take any personnel action/decision that would have happened if the
employee had continued to work while the employee is on FMLA leave.
