Adoption Leave (a) The employee will notify the employer at least ten weeks in advance of the date of commencement of adoption leave and the period of leave to be taken. An employee may commence adoption leave prior to providing such notice, where through circumstances beyond the control of the employee, the adoption of a child takes place earlier.
Parental/Adoption Leave (a) The Employer shall grant to an Employee who becomes a parent, provided the Employee has been in its employ at least thirteen (13) weeks immediately prior to the requested start date of the leave, a Parental/Adoption Leave of thirty-five (35) or thirty-seven (37) weeks or such shorter leave as the Employee requests.
Personal Leave of Absence The Administrator may grant a request for leave of absence for personal reasons without pay provided that he receives at least one (1) month's clear notice, in writing, unless impossible, and provided that such leave may be arranged without undue inconvenience to the normal operations of the Nursing Home. Employees when applying for such leave shall indicate the proposed date of departure and return. Such leave shall not be unreasonably withheld.
