A. The
purpose of the health leave pool is to furnish a continuing income

with no health leave days remaining will be assessed upon the accumulation
of eight (8) hours). Each employee may join or exit the health leave
pool on the anniversary date, January first (1st), with no refund
of hours. New employees may join during the first (1st) month following
their probationary period.
b. Once a health leave pool member reaches the maximum allowable sick
leave hours (three hundred sixty (360) hours), their excess sick leave
hours shall be placed in the health leave pool fund to help maintain
a balance of usable hours.
2. Administration of health leave pool. A committee
consisting of the City Administrator and the department supervisors
will administer the health leave pool. The Committee shall have the
authority to establish procedures that will allow it to function in
a fair and consistent manner.
3. Application process for health leave pool access.
a. Employee shall submit an application, which is available in the City
Administrator or City Clerk's office, to the Health Leave Pool Committee
requesting access to the pool.
b. The first (1st) section of the application must be completed by the
employee and must explain in detail the reason for requesting health
leave hours.
c. A licensed physician must complete the second (2nd) section of the
application. The physician's explanation must describe the nature
of illness and why the employee is unable to work.
d. Employer may require a second (2nd) medical opinion.
4. Requirement for health leave pool participation.
a. Only St. Robert employees who have donated to the pool shall make

members.

and vacation days) time has been depleted.
d.

and the physician's report. To qualify for consideration for extension,
an employee shall have worked his or her duties for a minimum of one
thousand two hundred fifty (1,250) hours in the twelve (12) months
preceding the date of his or her request for extension.

may be denied.

the health leave pool with no refund of days.
h. When an employee makes a request, they must state the number of anticipated
hours needed. Upon return to work, any unused hours shall revert to
health leave pool unless otherwise noted in the initial approval.
5. Approval of participation.
a. Committee will meet to consider the request for health leave pool
days. After full consideration of the merits of the application, the
Committee will vote. A quorum of five (5) voting members will be required
to convene a meeting and a majority vote of those present will constitute
the Committee's decision.
b. Employee will be notified of the Committee's decision.
c. Decisions of the Committee may be appealed to the Council.

If the employee is a department head or an appointed official, then
that employee shall schedule with the City Administrator as would
a regular employee with their department head as set forth earlier
in this Section. The City will directly negotiate with employees or
appointed officers with more than three hundred (300) vacation hours
accumulated. Compliance shall be accomplished no later than January

[Ord. No. 218 §2, 3-2-1981; Ord.
No. 1838 §§1 — 3, 11-7-2005; Ord. No. 3684, 4-13-2021]
A. Pursuant
to the express provisions of Section 105.270.1, RSMo., the City of
St. Robert is required provide leaves of absence with pay to employees
who are:
1. Members of the National Guard or of any reserve component of the
Armed Forces of the United States without loss of time, pay, regular
leave, impairment of efficiency rating, or of any other rights or
benefits, to which otherwise entitled, for:
a. All periods of military services during which they are engaged in
the performance of duty or training in the service of this State at
the call of the Governor and as ordered by the adjutant general without
regard to length of time; and
b. For all periods of military services during which they are engaged
in the performance of duty in the service of the United States under
competent orders for a period not to exceed a total of one hundred
twenty (120) hours in any Federal fiscal year.
B. All
employees of the City who meet either of the two (2) above described
categories of military service shall be entitled to a military leave
of absence with pay.
C. If
any full-time City employee is called to military service in the service
of the State of Missouri, the City will place the employee on a military
leave of absence with pay. During his or her military leave of absence,
the employee will be entitled to receive City pay equal to what he
or she would have earned had he or she not been called to service.
D. If
a regular full-time employee is called to military service in the
service of the United States, the City will place the employee on
a military leave of absence with pay equal to what he or she would
have earned had he or she not been called to service. However, the
maximum annual military leave of absence pay for the regular, full-time
employee shall be limited to one hundred and twenty (120) hours of
leave time.
E. If
a full-time firefighter employee is called to military service in
the service of the United States, the City will place the employee
on a military leave of absence with pay equal to what he or she would
have earned had he or she not been called to service. However, the
maximum annual military leave of absence pay for the full-time firefighter
employee shall be limited to one hundred sixty-nine (169) hours of
leave time. Because a full-time firefighter works under different
shift and pay schedules than does a regular full-time employee, it
is necessary to make this adjustment so that the military leave of
absence limitation period for a full-time firefighter is equivalent
to that of a regular full-time employee.
F. All
other provisions and requirements of Section 105.270, RSMo., shall
be complied with.
[Ord. No. 218 §2, 3-2-1981]

B. This
Section is enacted pursuant to Section 43.535, RSMo., to regulate
the employment of those engaged in the functions of a municipality.
This Section is only applicable to persons offered employment by the
City of St. Robert and does not apply to those merely interviewing
for employment. Further, a person's status as a City employee is conditional
until the results from the background check are reviewed and approved
by the Mayor and City Administrator.
C. An
applicant, employee or volunteer seeking employment with the City
of St. Robert shall submit a set of his/her fingerprints taken by
the Police Department to the City Clerk. The background check shall
be completed and transmitted without any fee to the applicant, employee
or volunteer seeking employment with the City of St. Robert.
D. Upon
receipt of the fingerprints and the appropriate fees, the City Clerk
will transmit both sets of fingerprints and appropriate fees to the
appropriate State agency or bureau. The appropriate State agency or
bureau will compare the subject's fingerprints against its criminal
file and, if no disqualifying conduct is found therein, submit the
fingerprints to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for a comparison
with nationwide records. The results of the Federal Bureau of Investigation
check will be returned to the appropriate State agency or bureau,
which will disseminate the State and national results to the St. Robert
City Clerk.
E. The
Mayor and the City Administrator shall render a fitness determination
based upon the results of the criminal background check and communicate
its fitness determination to such public entity.
F. In
rendering a fitness determination, the Mayor and the City Administrator
will decide whether the record subject has been convicted of or is
under pending indictment for:
1. A crime which bears upon his/her ability or fitness to serve in a
particular position as a City employee;
2. Any felony or a misdemeanor which involved force or threat of force,
controlled substances or was a sex-related offense; or
3. Enumerated disqualifiers.
G. A record
subject may request and receive a copy of his/her criminal history
record information from the City Clerk. Should the record subject
seek to amend or correct his/her record, he/she must contact the appropriate
State agency or bureau for a Missouri State record or the Federal
Bureau of Investigation for records from other jurisdictions maintained
in its file.
