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.
