Common use of COMPENSABLE LEAVE Clause in Contracts

COMPENSABLE LEAVE. The purpose of compensable time is to provide employees with flexible compensable time from work that can be used for such needs as personal or family illness, doctor appointments, family matters, etc. The district's goal is to reduce unscheduled absences and the need for supervisory oversight. Employees are accountable and responsible for managing their own compensable time hours to allow for adequate reserves if there is a need to cover time off from work. Bus drivers scheduled to work eight (8) hours per day shall accumulate compensable time at the rate of eight (8) hours per calendar month. Bus drivers working less than eight (8) hours per day shall accumulate compensable time prorated by the ratio of the bus driver’s regularly assigned hours to eight (8) hours. Drivers may earn a maximum of 9.5 compensable days per school year. The formula for accumulation of compensable time for bus drivers is: number of hours assigned daily x one hundred (100) working days (maximum accumulation) = number of hours a driver may accumulate. Compensable time is not earned in pay periods during which unpaid leave or workers' compensation leave are taken. Additionally, compensable time is only accrued during the regular school year (not during summer school). Guidelines for Use of Compensable Time Compensable time taken will be subtracted from the driver's accrued compensable time reserves in increments as reflected on each driver’s route cover sheet. To take compensable time requires one week of notice to the supervisor unless the compensable time is used for legitimate, unexpected illness or emergencies. (Use the compensable time form to request compensable time.) In all instances, compensable time must be approved by the employee's supervisor in advance. Transportation supervisory staff requires as much notice as possible for all expected, scheduled absences. The number of acceptable absences for each day will be determined by the supervisory staff. Approvals will be based on first-come, first-serve basis. In the event that more than one request is received for the same day, the employee with the least amount of absences for the year will be granted approval for that day. Compensable time will not be granted/paid for unapproved absences. When a bus driver is terminated, resigns, or retires, all compensable time and compensable leave is forfeited. Guidelines for Use when School is Officially Closed Employees may use compensable time to replace pay for regularly scheduled work days when school is officially closed up to the number of maximum days built into the district calendar for inclement weather. The following schedule shall determine the number of days that may be used in this capacity, per driver: Compensable Leave Balance Compensable Days Available to use for Replacement Pay 0-39.99 days 2 40-69.99 days 3 70-100 days 4 Balance requirements must be met by or before the pay period for which replacement pay is being requested. Compensable Time Exceptions  Employees who miss more than three consecutive unscheduled days, will be required to present a doctor's release to the Human Resources department that permits them to return to work.  Compensable time taken in excess of the compensable time accrued will not be paid.  Compensable time taken in excess of the compensable time accrued may result in employment termination. Progressive discipline policy will be followed in concern to this matter.
