Title
A RESOLUTION APPROVING AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 5.2 OF THE CITY OF COMMERCE CITY EMPLOYEE POLICIES REGARDING GENERAL LEAVE
Body
Summary and Background Information:
This policy update will allow the city to provide new regular employees with a bank of 48 hours of general leave upon hire, which will allow new employees to be absent from work in their first 6 months for illness, or pre-planned or urgent personal needs with supervisor approval, and still meet the requirements under the Colorado Healthy Family and Workplaces Act. There are currently job offers that are declined due to a lack of general leave available to new employees without being granted an exception. The total amount of general leave provided to employees will not change because after the first 6 months of employment, any amount of the 48 hours of leave, will be subtracted from the employee's prorata leave bank granted for the remainder of the benefit year, so this update does not have any budget impact.
