Compassion Leave. All employees may take up to fifteen (15) days off, which shall be paid in the same manner as PTO, to help plan and attend memorial services, attend to affairs, and take personal time after the death of a family member or a person who the employee certifies has a familial like relationship with, due to the fact that NWC recognizes that not all family is biological and every culture has their own way of defining familial structure and taking care of one another and their community, or a pregnancy loss or miscarriage. Leave pursuant to this section shall be limited to fifteen (15) days maximum per calendar year, regardless of the number of deaths an employee is affected by. *NWC may require verification of the need for the Compassion leave. Traumatic Event Leave Northwest Center understands that there may be additional times of hardship when employees need time off due to traumatic events. These times may include, (but are not limited to), times of community justice impact, unexpected family responsibility, natural disasters affecting the employee’s living space and ability to safely report to work (i.e. wildfires, flooding, etc.), or the death of a pet. To help assist employees through these traumatic events, each employee will be given a bank of three (3) days off, to be paid in the same manner as PTO, per calendar year. This will not be a per-occurrence leave, but a one time annual allotment of three (3) days and must be taken in full day increments. These three (3) days will be front-loaded on January first of each calendar year (or upon hire) and will not roll over to the next year. These days off will need to be cleared through HR and operational leadership, and the proper verification may be requested by HR for each instance. Staffing levels will be taken into consideration when approving these days, and approvals will be made on a “first come, first served” basis. Other options of State, Federal, and NWC leaves will be looked at first before moving forward with approving Traumatic Event Leave.
