Councilmember proposes two weeks paid maternity leave for city employees
Summary
A councilmember proposed adding two weeks paid maternity leave to the employee handbook and asked the council to consider updating policy; the clerk requested ordinance/handbook references and no formal vote occurred at the meeting.
A councilmember proposed adding two weeks of paid maternity leave to the city’s employee handbook as a modest step to expand benefits for city employees.
The proposing councilmember said two weeks was not a large benefit compared with other municipalities but called it a starting point. The clerk asked for the ordinance or employee-handbook reference that would be amended and said paternity leave could be considered later.
No formal motion or vote on a policy change was recorded during the meeting; councilmembers appeared receptive to discussing the proposal and indicated staff would need to identify the correct handbook/ordinance language and the fiscal implications before a formal action could be scheduled.
