to the Pxrsonnci
Rules and Raoulati ons
Recommendation:
It is recpnrtnended that the Lity Council adopt the attached resolu-
tion concerning revisions of the Personnel Rules and Regulations.
Occupational Injury Benefit Program (F-5)
The Council recently approved revisions to this policy (September
1987). Soon after implementation of these revisions, some omis-
sions regarding designation of administrative responsibilities were
discovered. Appropriate instructions have been inserted in the
opening paragraphs of Sections 4.4.5 artd 4.4.6. In addition, the
Department of Law has developed two model letters which have become
Appendices 5.4 and 5.5.
Personal and Major Medical Sick Leave (I-1)
The City's Personal and M~j or Medical Sick Leave policy has been in
effect for almost four years. .Implementation of this policy has
revealed the need to provide specific guidance regarding approval
to use Major Medical Sick leave. The current policy simply states
"appropriate proof" must he provided upon request before an employ-
ee may use accrued Major Medical Sick Leave. The proposed revision
of Paragraph 3/8 references a form (appendix 5.2) developed by the
Public Health Director which must be completed by an empl o,yee's
attending physician in order to gain access to accrued Major
' Medical Sick Leave.
Disciplinary Action (H-1)
The City's Disciplinary Action Regulation currently provides that a
. Notice of Oi sciplinary Action shall 6e sent to the employee within
seventy-two (72) hours. In' keeping with the Appeal Procedure
Regulation, which dovetails with the Disciplinary Action Regulation
and addresses time frames in terms of working days, the Notice of
Disciplinary Action must now be sent within three (3) working days.

and Council Conrtnunication No. G-7461, be adopted. ,
