Alameda Municipal Code § 25-4 Leave of Absence

An appointing authority shall have the power to grant a leave of absence without pay to any officer or employee of the City for a period of time not to exceed six (6) months; provided, however, that if such officer or employee is within the Civil Service System of the City, approval of the Civil Service Board must be first had and obtained. This subsection shall not contravene or diminish any power of the Civil Service Board to grant a leave of absence under any other City ordinance.

(Ord. No. 1355 N.S.)

Whenever any officer or employee is compelled to be absent from duty by reason of death, or critical illness where death appears imminent, of either father, mother, brother, sister, husband, wife, child, grandchild, or a relative who lives in the place of residence of such officer or employee, or of the father or mother of the spouse of such officer or employee, such officer or employee shall receive compensation during such absence at the regular rate of pay for time necessary to be absent from work, not, however, to exceed three (3) working days in all; provided, that, the compensation herein provided to be paid shall be paid only when the officer or employee absent shall furnish satisfactory evidence of the facts justifying such absence.

(Ord. No. 535 N.S. § 2-547; Ord. No. 1654 N.S.)
