Discretionary Personal Necessity Leave. Discretionary Personal Necessity Leave days (DPNL) are days a unit member may use at their own discretion, without providing written or verbal justification for said leave. Unit members will earn Discretionary Personal Necessity days based on the number of sick leave days accumulated and recorded on the September pay check. The following scale will be used to determine Discretionary Personal Necessity Leave days:
Discretionary Personal Necessity Leave. 12.10.1 Two days of the seven (7) days of personal necessity leave may be used at the discretion of the employee for personal necessity reasons that fall outside the definition of 12.9.
Discretionary Personal Necessity Leave. Three (3) days of Personal Necessity Leave may be used by a unit member at his/her discretion to attend to matters which require the attention of the unit member and which the unit member determines must be taken care of during the assigned workday. The Office retains the right to deny a request for Discretionary Personal Necessity Leave when, according to the records at the time the request is made, granting of the request would cause more than twenty percent (20%) of unit members at the site to be out on any type of leave on the same day. At sites with fewer than five (5) unit members the immediate administrator may deny the request based on operational reasons (e.g. no substitute coverage, high level of school business). The unit member shall submit a request for Discretionary Personal Necessity Leave to the immediate administrator at least two (2) days prior to the beginning date of the leave. Personal Necessity Leave may not be utilized due to any work stoppage, work slowdown, strike, or any “job action” activity.
