Common use of Incentive Leave Clause in Contracts

Incentive Leave. Each employee shall earn one-half (1/2) day, four (4) hours, of incentive leave, or “bonus time,” for each calendar month worked without any incident of lost time. An incident of lost time means any calendar day on which any employee is absent from work for any amount of time due to unpaid absence, suspension, unexcused tardiness, or absence without leave (AWOL). (Any absence that qualifies as Family Medical leave is not an incident of lost time.) However, in the event an employee should establish an abusive absenteeism problem, the following provisions shall apply: 1. An employee who receives an Instruction and Cautioning regarding abusive absenteeism shall not earn any bonus time for the month during which the Record of Instruction and Cautioning was issued; 2. An employee who receives a Written Reprimand or Suspension for abusive absenteeism shall not earn any bonus time for the month during which said reprimand or suspension was issued. Such an employee shall be required to provide medical documentation for each absence for a period of one (1) year from the date of the reprimand or any other subsequent related disciplinary action. Failure to provide the medical documentation shall result in the requested sick leave or absence being counted as an incident of lost time. Employees must possess a minimum of one (1) year of departmental seniority and maintain a sick leave balance of at least fifty-six (56) hours in order to use accumulated bonus time. Bonus time off must be scheduled and approved at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance in consideration of the operational needs of the Employer. This requirement may be waived at the discretion of the appointing authority in the case of an emergency. No later than December 1 of each year, each employee shall notify the payroll office, in writing, of the manner in which he wishes to convert his unused bonus time. An employee may either convert his bonus time to cash at one-half (1/2) the value of his accumulated but unused bonus time or convert his bonus time to sick leave at the full value of his accumulated but unused bonus time. Unused bonus time may be carried over for a period of one (1) year, i.e., bonus time earned in 2003 may be carried over to 2004. The maximum amount of bonus time which may be converted to cash in any one year shall be nine (9) days.
