Mr. Schrage stated yes, if the employee was eligible to use City of Salina accrued leave at their hourly rate,whatever amount was used would be paid in full. Commissioner Davis asked if the employee would need to ask for the extended leave before their accrued leave was used. Mr. Schrage stated that an employee could request extended leave to cover the remaining hours to earn a full paycheck. Commissioner Davis asked if employees that were on call received pay. Natalie Fischer, Director of Human Resources, stated there were very few employees that were on an on- call basis. She continued to explain the variations of staff working after hours.

Ms. Fischer stated that staff would need to look at how the leave would be handled for the Fire Department based on the direction the City Commission would like to go. Ms. Fischer provided additional information on the act and the guidelines of the act. Mayor Hoppock asked if an employee would understand this. Ms. Fischer stated probably not. Mr. Schrage stated that he had noticed some administrators that told employees that they would get paid regardless. He noted that he had not done that yet. He continued to state that his hope was to communicate to them that the act was in place and will work with the employees on the provisions. Mayor Hoppock asked if some employees have had impacts with child care with school closing. Ms. Fischer stated that about 15 employees at most were impacted last week and there could be a potential that number may increase. Commissioner Hodges asked about the level of leave available to the employees. Mr. Schrage stated that we had to offset the 2/3 provision by allowing additional leave at the full rate to come to a full paycheck. A conversation ensued between the City Commission and Mr. Schrage regarding the extended leave. Commissioner Hodges stated that the municipality was not expecting repayment for the use of hours under the act. Mr. Schrage stated correct and the amount was capped at the dollar amount that the act provided. Commissioner Hodges asked if we were going to pay the employees for the hours the employee would work anyway, then why can't we take the other step and just pay the employee for the full time.

A conversation ensued between the City Commission, Mr. Schrage, Greg Bengtson, City Attorney, and Ms. Fischer regarding the leave advancement and compliance of the act.

Commissioner Franz asked if the Emergency Family Medical Leave was handled similar to Family Medical Leave Act. Mr. Schrage stated the Emergency Family Medical Leave was an extension of paid leave. Mayor Hoppock asked if staff would be able to account for this. Ms. Fischer stated staff was looking at other software systems to track leave forms and processing the leave. Commissioner Hodges asked if there had been a thought to allow for work from home or flexible schedule directives. Mr. Schrage stated there had been conversations but his concern was essential versus non-essential and if a stay-in place order was put in place. He continued to state that staff had to stay focused on if it was essential or needed right now. Ms. Fischer stated work for department heads was to determine what work could be offered to employees that did not have the needs to work from home. Commissioner Davis asked if those individuals were ones who had children that were home to take care of and would generally be in school and would be working their full schedule. Mr. Schrage stated correct but what he was referring to were people that were on emergency paid sick leave because of the stay-at-home order. Commissioner Davis asked what the reduced leave would be to where an employee could still get their benefits. Ms. Fischer stated the City had been pretty liberal in the past for employees that were on leave to receive benefits. She continued to state the personnel manual stated a full time employee was 40 hours a week and a classified part-time employee was 25 to 30 hours a week. Commissioner Hodges asked if the leave would cover both essential and non-essential personnel. Ms. Schrage stated yes. Mr. Schrage continued to provide information on the use of leave for a non-essential employee.

Commissioner Franz noted his original question on March 9th but noted that a picture was submitted to him had part of the planter box missing so he questioned it. He also stated that just because a question was asked did not mean that a staff person had to have an answer. Mr. Kowach wanted to thank Commissioner Franz for noticing it and notifying staff and it minimized the additional cost that would have occurred if staff was not notified.
