Council Leave. Any member of the Council may take a leave of absence up to six (6) months to work on Council business, provided however, that such leave may be extended up to a maximum of one (1) year by mutual consent between the employee and the Agency.
Council Leave. The Employer agrees that one (1) elected officer of the Council shall, upon the written request of the Council, be granted a leave of absence without pay for the term of office, for a period not to exceed two (2) years unless the absence of the employee would cause a substantial hardship on the operating efficiency of the employing unit. Grievances involving the issue of whether a substantial hardship does in fact exist may be appealed directly to arbitration pursuant to Article IV of the Agreement. At the end of the two (2) year period, the elected official may request an extension of the leave of absence without pay. The employee shall retain his or her original date of employment for the computation of seniority. When the employee returns from this leave of absence, the employee shall return to the same job classification, division, location, and assignment. However, if the position no longer is available, the employee shall be allowed to transfer to an open position in the same job classification. If there are no open positions in the same job classification, the employee may bump the least senior person in the job classification and division.
Council Leave. Upon request, the Board shall grant up to ten (10) days non-accumulative to be used by designated Council representatives to attend conferences, workshops, or conventions which are directly related to the Council's labor-management relationship with the District. This leave must be requested by the Council at least three (3) working days prior to the effective date. The Council shall reimburse the District an amount equal to one-day substitute salary for each leave day taken.
Council Leave. A total of eighteen (18) days per school year shall be granted to work on Council business or to attend any conferences or conventions of state and national affiliated organizations, including, but not limited to, the OEA Representative Assembly. Notice of dates of attendance and names will be provided to the Superintendent five (5) days in advance of need only when a substitute is required. The District will bill OEA and no deduction will be made from the monthly check of the bargaining unit member. Up to nine (9) days of the Council’s eighteen days may be used as President’s release time. If no substitute is required, the leave shall not be usable in less than two (2) hour portions except that it shall be usable in one (1) hour portions if taken at the end of the day. If a substitute is required, the leave shall not be usable in less than one-half (½) day increments.
Council Leave. 4.10.1 VMOs are entitled to ten (10) days Council Leave per annum in addition to other leave entitlements. Council leave will only be granted for periods that fall within Sessional Services worked by the VMO on any one day.
Council Leave. The District shall grant the Council a total of five (5) days of paid Association leave each year, with no loss of pay, to the designated representatives. The Association shall have sole discretion to assign the Association leave and may allocate the leave in hourly increments upon 48-hours’ notice. The District shall allow any designated representative who can perform union duties without requiring a substitute or causing an absence to do so without requiring the use of Association leave.
Council Leave. 5.7.1 VMOs who are current councillors of the Royal Colleges or national speciality societies are entitled to access Council Leave up to ten (10) paid days per annum, in addition to any other entitlements. Should leave in excess of 10 days per year be required, it may be deducted from professional development leave. Such leave shall be granted only for periods that fall within ordinary rostered hours. These periods are not cumulative.
Council Leave. In addition to annual leave in Clause 8.1, employees will be entitled to 3 days paid Council leave between Christmas and New Year, and one additional day during the Christmas close-down period, if these days fall on a day that would normally be worked by the employee. The date of the additional day will be decided on annually by the Director to best align with where the close-down period falls within the working week (i.e. day before Christmas or after New Year’s statutory holidays).
Council Leave. In the event that the Council desires to send representatives to local, state, or national conferences or meetings, these representatives shall be excused without loss of salary; provided, however, the Council gives five (5) days written notice to the Superintendent and reimburses the District for the cost of the substitute(s). The aggregate number of days for Council leave shall not exceed ten (10) days in any school year except with the permission of the Superintendent. Should a teacher become an NEA Director, that teacher will be entitled to an additional five (5) days of leave without loss of pay to attend state and national meetings of the IEA and NEA; provided, however, that said teacher gives the Superintendent five (5) days written notice and the Council reimburses the District for the cost of a substitute.
Council Leave. The District shall grant the Council a total of five (5) days' paid leave during the school year for Council, collective bargaining and administration business. The Council will determine which members shall use the five- days of leave and shall provide the names and dates to the Superintendent at least 48 hours in advance. No more than three persons will be granted Council leave on any one day. Council leave will not be cumulative.
