The city will still be governed by current FMLA regulations which would require up to 12 weeks
of unpaid FMLA leave to eligible employees who are being treated for COVID-19 or who are
caring for a family member who is suffering from COVID 19.

The city’s COVID19 Return to Work Policy will remain in effect and employee screening will
continue. Employees will be able to use personal leave time if available and as prescribed by
their collective bargaining agreement or policy should they need to quarantine.

Thank you for your consideration.
