The inclusion of the City's policy in this plan is not intended to and does not create substantive rights for employees. SALT LAKE CITY POLICY MANUAL FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE ACT POLICY 3.01.07 GENERAL PURPOSE: To explain the circumstances under which eligible employees may take up to 12 weeks of unpaid,job-protected leave per 12-month period for certain family and medical reasons. I. THE FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE ACT ("FMLA") IS A FEDERAL LAW A. Entitles eligible employees to job protected, unpaid leave for up to 12 weeks per qualifying 12-month period for certain qualifying events and health conditions B. Provides for continuation of group health plan benefits during FMLA leave C. Restores the employee to the same or an equivalent job upon return to work D.

Placement of a foster child in the employee's home; C. A serious health condition of the employee; or D. The care for a spouse, child, or parent with a serious health condition. III. FMLA LEAVE WHEN HUSBAND AND WIFE BOTH WORK FOR THE CITY A. A husband and wife who are eligible for FMLA leave and are both employed by the City are limited to a combined total of 12 weeks of leave during the 12-month period if the leave is taken: 1. for the birth of a child or to care for the child after the birth; 2. for the placement of a child with the employee for adoption or foster care, or to • care for the child after placement; or 3. to care for the employee's parent with a serious health condition. B. Where the husband and wife both use a portion of the total 12-week FMLA leave entitlement for one of the purposes set forth in III.A above, the husband and wife each are entitled to the difference between the amount he/she has taken individually and 12 weeks for FMLA leave for a qualifying event other than those identified in III.A. IV. EMPLOYEE ELIGIBILITY To be eligible for FMLA leave, the employee must be: A. employed by the City for at least 12 months and 39 • • B. employed by the City for a minimum of 1,250 compensable work hours as determined under the Fair Labor Standards Act during the 12-month period immediately preceding the commencement of the leave. V. 12-MONTH PERIOD DURING WHICH FMLA LEAVE CAN BE TAKEN The 12-month period during which the 12 weeks of FMLA leave can be taken is measured forward from the date the employee's first FMLA leave begins. VI. EMPLOYEE RESPONSIBILITIES An employee will: A. Provide notice to his/her supervisor of the need for leave: 1. for leave that is foreseeable—at least 30 days in advance; 2. for leave that is unforeseeable—as soon as is practicable. B.

Provide medical certification for leave taken as a result of a serious health condition of the employee or of a serious health condition of the employee's spouse, parent, or child, if requested by the City's designee. 1. Failure by the employee to comply with the certification requirements may result in a delay in the start of FMLA leave, a delay in the restoration of the employee to his/her position, or unprotected leave status. D. Comply with arrangements to pay the employee-paid portion of the group health plan benefit premiums (See Section XI). E. Periodically advise his/her supervisor, at least every 30 days, of his/her condition, or the condition of his/her spouse, child or parent, and the intent to return to work at the conclusion of leave.

Provide his/her supervisor with a fitness for duty certification if required by his/her supervisor, timekeeper, or HR consultant upon the employee's return to work following the employee's serious health condition. VII. THE CITY'S RESPONSIBILITIES As the employer, the City, through its designees, will: A. Maintain coverage of group health plan benefits at the level and under the conditions coverage would have been provided if the employee had continued in employment without utilizing FMLA leave. B.

VIII. MEDICAL CERTIFICATION A. The City will require medical certification of any serious health condition of the employee or of the serious health condition of the employee's spouse,parent, or child. B. If the leave is foreseeable, the employee should provide the medical certification prior to taking the leave. C. If the leave is not foreseeable, the employee shall provide medical certification within 15 days after being requested to do so by the City's designee. D. An employee on approved FMLA leave will be required to inform his/her supervisor every 30 days regarding his/her status and intent to return to work upon the conclusion of the leave(See, also, Section VI.E). E. The City reserves its right to require, at its own expense, second and third medical opinions, as specified by the FMLA. IX. USE OF PAID LEAVE IS REQUIRED BEFORE TAKING UNPAID FMLA LEAVE The City requires all employees utilizing FMLA leave to exhaust their paid leave allotments prior to taking FMLA leave unpaid. The paid leave parameters are defined by the employee's contract or compensation plan. A. FMLA leave for qualifying events, other than the serious health condition of the employee 1. Plan A a. paid leave comes first from dependent leave, in the amount allowed in the contract/compensation plan. b. the remaining leave comes from the employee's vacation time. 2. Plan B a. either personal leave time and/or vacation time can be used b. severance account hours can be used in the same manner as sick leave hours are allowed under Plan A. B. FMLA leave for the serious health condition of the employee 1. Plan A a. paid leave comes first from hospital leave(when appropriate); b. followed by all sick leave c. followed by vacation time 2. Plan B a. paid leave will be provided when appropriate from the Short Term Disability Insurance Program b. personal leave, severance account hours, and vacation time will then be utilized in that order. C. Compensatory time may be used for an FMLA reason but any period of leave paid from the employee's accrued compensatory time account will not be counted against the employee's FMLA leave entitlement. 41 • • D. Leave taken for a serious health condition covered under Workers' Compensation will be counted towards an employee's FMLA entitlement. Accrued paid leave may be used at the same time the employee is collecting a Workers' Compensation benefit only to the extent that it allows the employee to collect 100 percent of his/her net salary. X. INTERMITTENT LEAVE A. Leave may be taken intermittently or on a reduced leave schedule when medically necessary for medical treatment of a serious health condition, for recovery from such treatment or from the serious health condition, or when the serious health condition of a spouse,parent or child of the employee requires intermittent treatment and requires the employee's care and/or involvement in the treatment and or the care of the parent, child, or spouse. 1. When the need for intermittent or reduced schedule FMLA leave is foreseeable, the employee must make reasonable attempts to arrange the schedule of the leave so as not to unduly disrupt the City's operations. B. The employee taking intermittent leave under the FMLA may be required to transfer temporarily to an available alternative position for which the employee is qualified. The alternative position must have equivalent pay and benefits and better accommodate recurring periods of leave than the employee's regular position. FMLA leave taken for the birth or adoption of a child or for the placement of a foster child in the employee's home cannot be taken on an intermittent or reduced leave schedule. XI. BENEFITS WHILE ON FMLA LEAVE A. For the duration of FMLA leave, the City will pay the City-paid portion of the premiums for group health plan benefit coverage, which includes medical insurance coverage, Basic Employee Term Life Insurance, and Short Term Disability Insurance, subject to Section XI.A.3. 1. While on FMLA leave utilizing paid leave, the employee-paid portion of the group health plan benefit premiums are deducted from employee's check as usual. 2. When FMLA leave is unpaid, the employee must contact the Benefits Section of Human Resources (535-7900)to make arrangements to pay the employee portion 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. a. The City, through its designee,will provide written notice at least 15 days prior to the date coverage will be cancelled that payment has not been received. b. The employee will have 15 days after the date of notification, or 30 days 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 interrupted 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 return 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.
