Personnel committee grants unpaid medical leaves for two transit employees
Summary
After holding a closed session to discuss medical information, the committee approved unpaid leaves of absence for two transit employees identified by initials JL and SU, with specified effective dates.
The City of Manitowoc Personnel Committee approved unpaid medical leaves for two transit employees following closed-session discussion under Wisconsin law.
The committee invoked closed session under Wis. Stat. —.85(1)(f) to consider medical and personal histories related to specific employees and under Wis. Stat. 19.85(1)(e) to discuss bargaining matters. After returning to open session the committee approved an unpaid leave of absence for transit employee JL through Nov. 5 and an unpaid leave for transit employee SU through Sept. 5.
A committee member moved to approve each leave and a second was recorded; both motions carried on voice votes. For JL the committee recorded that the approval did not need to be forwarded to the full common council.
Action: Motion(s) to approve unpaid leaves for transit employee JL (through Nov. 5) and transit employee SU (through Sept. 5). Outcome: approved (voice votes). Notes: Medical details were discussed in closed session under Wis. Stat. 19.85(1)(f); the approvals were announced in open session. The committee stated the JL leave did not require council action.
Why it matters: The committee acted on personnel-staff medical leave requests that were handled in closed session because they involved private medical information; the committee announced the approvals after returning to open session.
