Emergency Time Off. 25.1 Any employee covered by this Agreement who is an active volunteer firefighter within the Town of South Kingstown shall be allowed to respond to emergencies without loss of pay. All employees must return immediately to Town service once their help is no longer necessary. Said decision will rest with the Fire Chief.
Emergency Time Off. An employee shall be permitted leave of absence to care for an ill member of their family or attend to a serious household or domestic emergency. This leave is without pay except an employee may request payment of regular wages from vacation entitlement; accrued overtime or accrued sick leave entitlement.
Emergency Time Off. If approved by an immediate supervisor in writing, time off may be allowed for personal emergencies. Unless an employee's absence can be covered by an employee's unused vacation balance, time off is without pay. Requests should be infrequent and limited to emergency situations only. Medical and other personal appointments should be scheduled at times when they do not interfere with work - these are considered non-emergencies.
Emergency Time Off. Emergency time off occurs when something that is out of the Employee’s control impacts their ability to report for work. Emergency time off can impact an entire shift, or certain parts of it. Employees must, as soon as possible, contact the manager or manager on duty to inform them of their absence. If, due to the emergency, the employee is not able to assist with finding a replacement for emergency time off, then the employer is responsible to find the replacement shift, without repercussions to the employee.
Emergency Time Off. Any emergency time off becomes the prerogative of the Chancellor. In the event of a temporary emergency, a decision will be made on a case by case basis, whether certain departments will be required to continue operations regardless of the closure. Employees who are required to work will receive their regular pay for time worked. Employees who are scheduled to work but who are unable to work due to the temporary emergency will report the time as "authorized time off with pay." Employees who have already requested absence from scheduled duty and were approved, prior to the temporary emergency, will receive straight time wages and the absence will be charged to the appropriate absence accrual.
Emergency Time Off. Any emergency time off, not qualifying under the "sick leave" provisions, shall be charged against the employee's accrued vacation time, at the discretion of the Fire Chief. If no vacation time is available, the time off will be taken as leave without pay.
Emergency Time Off. 1. Any emergency time off, not qualifying under the "Sick Leave," "Family Sick Leave," or "Bereavement Leave" provisions, shall be charged against the employee's available annual leave.

The Employee must notify the Supervisor as soon as possible and the Employer may require proof of the emergency before granting leave.
