(a) All City employees are eligible for consideration for the following emergency paid leave.
(b) The Mayor may allow an employee paid time off work, not to exceed three (3) eight-hour days, because of death in his or her family of a mother, father, sister, brother, spouse, child, grandparent, mother-in-law, and father-in-law. In the event of the death of other relatives in the employee’s immediate family, the Mayor may, within the above limitation, allow such time off as he deems necessary depending on the circumstances of each situation. The use of emergency leave is a privilege which must be specifically requested by the employee or his or her head of the Department or Division and granted by the Mayor and does not automatically consist of the maximum time allowed but is up to the discretion of the Mayor. In cases where more time off is desired than granted, the employee shall request, in advance, the use of his accrued vacation leave credits for each additional time.
