B. City To Pay Medical Premiums, Life Insurance: The City will pay its portion of the medical premiums and employee basic term life insurance.
C. Employee Share Of Medical Premium: The employee is responsible for paying their share of the medical premium each biweekly period. Premiums will be deducted from the employee's paycheck while on paid leave. When on unpaid leave, an employee is responsible for coordinating payment with Human Resources. If an employee's premium payment is more than thirty (30) days late, coverage will be terminated.
D. Other Voluntary Benefits: Employees have the responsibility to make arrangements to continue their other voluntary benefits when on unpaid leave.
E. Failure To Return To Work: If an employee fails to return to work after unpaid FMLA leave has ended, the employee shall reimburse the City's share of the medical premiums paid by the City while on unpaid FMLA leave from their final paycheck. If there is no final paycheck, the employee will be billed. If payment is not received within thirty (30) days, the employee will be sent to collections, unless the failure to return from leave is due to:
1. The continuation, recurrence or onset of a serious health condition of the employee or the employee's family member that would otherwise entitle the employee to leave under FMLA;
2. Other circumstances beyond the employee's control. (2019 Compilation)
