This follows an extraordinary meeting of the council last Thursday, closed to the public and media.
The agenda item was listed as a "confidential staff matter".
Kiama council issued a brief statement on Sunday through a public relations company, after the Mercury posed questions surrounding the meeting, including whether Mr McMurray had been dismissed from his role.
The statement said that the "general manager is currently on leave and remains in his position as of today".
"A further statement with facts and an accurate report will be provided on Monday," the statement said.
Mr McMurray was named the new general manager of Kiama council, replacing Michael Forsyth in early 2018.
