§ 2-221.08. Effect of leaves on insurance coverage.

Latest version.

(a) Compensable leave. The city shall continue the employee's group life and hospitalization insurance during compensable leave of absence provided the employee pays his share of the premium.

(b) Workers' compensation. The city shall continue the employee's group life and hospitalization insurance during a leave of absence due to a valid workers' compensation injury or illness, provided the employee pays his share of the premium. If the employee's claim is later determined by law to be invalid, the employee shall reimburse the city for all premiums paid in his behalf during the injury. Failure to repay the city such premium upon demand or under terms agreeable to the city will result in termination of employment, and loss of accumulated sick and vacation leave to the extent necessary to cover the reimbursement. To the extent not fully reimbursed, the city may collect the premiums by any means allowed by law.

(c) Other non-compensable leave. Subject to the Family Medical Leave Act and subparagraph (a) above, if an employee is on an unpaid leave of any type, including medical leave covered by section 217.06(d), he shall be responsible to pay the premium for group life and hospitalization insurance beginning the month after the month in which the leave began. The employee shall be entitled to continue coverage for the period of the leave provided he pays the premiums subject to any restrictions imposed by the insurance carrier.
