RESOLUTION APPROVING AMENDMENT
TO THE PERSONNEL POLICIES
PERTAINING TO THE FAMILY MEDICAL LEAVE ACT
FOR THE CITY OF AMES
WHEREAS,the Human Resource Department has developed policy changes to Section 10
of the City's Personnel Policies regarding the Family Medical Leave Act(FMLA), as follows:
1. Medical Certification forms shall be returned to Human Resources rather than the
direct supervisor.
2. If an employee qualifies for FMLA and is absent because of his or her own health
condition for more than three consecutive working days,or if the City becomes aware
that an employee is hospitalized,the City may,by its own action,designate that leave
as FMLA.
WHEREAS,this policy change is consistent with the spirit of FMLA whereby FMLA runs
concurrent with other paid leave provided by the City and more accurately reflects current and past
practice.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
that the above changes to Section 10 of the City's Personnel Policies regarding the Family Medical
Leave Act are hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 12t''day of April, 2005.
