Amend the bill in section 1 in §809 by striking out all of subsection 6 (page 2, lines 26 to 28 in L.D.) and inserting the following:

‘6. Designation as essential. Upon receiving notice of an employee's firefighter status, an employer may designate the employee essential to the employer's operations when the absence of the employee would cause significant disruption of the employer's business. This designation must be made in writing and signed by both the employee and employer.’

summary

This amendment restores the ability of an employer to designate an employee as essential, as removed by the bill, but requires the disruption to the business by the employee's absence to be significant and requires the designation to be in writing and signed by both the employee and employer.
