General Leave Notwithstanding any provision for leave in this Agreement, the Employer may grant a leave of absence without pay to an employee requesting leave for an emergency or other unusual circumstances. A leave of absence may also be granted for any other reason in which case approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. All requests and approvals for leave shall be in writing. Upon request, the Employer will give reasons orally for withholding approval.
General Leaves When no other leaves are available, a leave of absence may be granted to an employee on a paid or unpaid basis at any time upon any terms acceptable to the District and an employee.
Annual Leave Loading During a period of annual leave an employee will receive a loading of 17.5 per cent calculated on the employee’s normal hourly rate of pay and the daily fares allowance if applicable. The loading will also apply to proportionate leave on lawful termination.

A. In the event of the death of an employee’s relative and not in the immediate family, as defined above, leave time with pay up to one eight (8) hour workday may be taken for funeral purposes. No more than twenty-four (24) hours may be taken in any one (1) calendar year as funeral leave in keeping with this section.
B. In the event a unit member should require additional time in excess of the allowances established in the above provisions, such additional time may be charged against vacation credits, with the approval of the supervisor.
Section 4: Use of funeral leave will not be charged against accumulated sick leave balances.
Section 5: In addition to funeral leave, in the event of the death of a spouse and/or a child of the employee, two (2) days’ sick leave may be used by the employee as additional bereavement leave.
General Leave of Absence a) Leave of absence without pay may be granted to employees for valid reasons as set out by Company policy.

The terms of the leave of absence will be confirmed in writing by the College.
B. The leave of absence of an employee on leave for reasons other than military service will terminate at the end of one (1) full year in which no service has been rendered. No more than one (1) year will be granted to any family unit for maternity/paternity leave for any one (1) child.
C. Except for military service, there shall be no other employment while on leave without prior approval of the President.
D. The returning employee will be assigned to the position occupied before the leave of absence. If that position is unavailable/eliminated, the employee may choose a vacant position substantially equal in duties and compensation or any opening for which the employee is qualified.
E. Employees filling positions of employees on leave of absence will be assigned to such positions for a specific period of time, during which they shall be subject to all provisions of this Agreement. It shall be the responsibility of the College to inform replacement employees of these provisions. This provision does not apply to leaves of short duration for which the College presently hires temporary employees.
F. The employee will retain accrued sick leave, vested vacation rights, and seniority rights while on leave of absence. However, vacation credits, sick leave, and seniority shall not accrue while the employee is on leave of absence; provided, however, that if such leave is approved for extended illness or injury, seniority shall accrue.
Annual Leave 17.1 An employee shall be entitled to four weeks annual leave for each twelve months’ service with the Company, exclusive of public holidays. Annual leave accumulates monthly on a pro rata basis.
17.2 The annual leave entitlement for each part time employee shall be calculated pro rata according to the ordinary hours he or she actually works.
17.3 The time of giving and taking of leave shall be by mutual arrangement between the Company and the employee concerned.
17.4 The Company may direct an employee to take annual leave during any shut down, including any such shut down over the Christmas and New Year period, provided the employee has an accrued annual leave balance that will at least cover the period of the shut down.

17.6 Payment for annual leave shall be made at the relevant minimum rate of pay in clause 19 – Minimum wages, plus a loading of 17.5 per cent on that rate of pay.
17.7 The Company may allow annual leave to be taken by an employee before the right thereto has accrued due.
17.8 An employee has no entitlement to the payment of the loading, when annual leave is taken wholly or partly in advance, until an entitlement accrues due and the loading is then payable in respect of the period of such leave and is calculated on the relevant minimum rate of pay in clause 19 – Minimum wages, payable at the accruing of the entitlement.
17.9 Where leave has been granted to an employee before the leave has accrued due, the Company may deduct the balance of the payment to the employee for that leave period from whatever remuneration is payable to him or her upon the cessation of employment.
17.10 An employee whose employment is terminated by the Company or who lawfully leaves the employment shall be entitled to a pro rata payment calculated on his or her relevant minimum rate of pay in clause 19 – Minimum wages, for the period in respect of which annual leave has not been taken, provided that the loading in clause 17.6 shall only be paid in respect of paid out annual leave for employees who have been employed for a minimum 12 months with the Company.
Cultural Leave Where such leave is approved by the employer, teachers participating in recognised cultural activities within New Zealand or outside New Zealand are entitled to leave with pay on the same conditions as for sports leave.
