Common use of CASUAL ABSENCE Clause in Contracts

CASUAL ABSENCE. The Company will continue to pay salaried Office and Clerical and Engineering employees for casual absences when such absences are for justifiable and proper reasons, including but not limited to, personal illness, serious illness in the immediate family and other absences normally considered as being unavoidable, and are reasonable in number. The Company has not established a fixed maximum for which an employee will be paid casual absences. The extent to which an employee will be paid for such absences shall be determined on the basis of each individual case. When the Union believes the Company denied payment for an employee's casual absence without sufficient reason, the Union may submit a grievance in the grievance procedure.
