Discussion & Possible Action Regarding County Personnel Policy & Procedures. FMLA: Abeles-Allison reviewed the draft modifications made to the policy. He explained that the Federal Leave would follow a rolling year, however, the state leave must follow the calendar year. The draft policy was shared with the LSALMA group at their January meeting and will be discussed further at the February meeting. Discussion was held regarding the terminology “unduly disrupting the operation” on page 3. Abeles-Allison will review the wording and bring it back to committee with a recommendation for modification. Discussion regarding the last sentence of item 5, which states that an employee may work other employment while on Medical leave from the county. Abeles-Allison explained that although the Federal leave allows the employee to work while on leave, the County leave policy states that the employee may not be employed while on unpaid leave from the county. Discussed addressing light duty if the employee’s physician will endorse it. Good suggested assigning light duty on a project basis with a specified amount of time rather than creating light duty work on an ongoing basis. Good questioned the asterisk after item 7 regarding denial of Family Medical Leave. The question was what instance would justify the county denying leave. Abeles-Allison will check into the intent and explanation of the statement included under the federal leave. The committee recommended that Kathy Prenn review the policy once revised.
