Leave Approval. Except in the case of sick or emergency leave, the scheduling of leaves is subject to the approval of the department head or his/her designee. It is the obligation of the employee to request in writing prior approval for all other leaves. Under unusual circumstances, the department head has the discretion to waive the requirement for prior approval. The department head shall respond to a request for leave within ten (10) days. Approvals may be rescinded by the department director in time of emergencies such as flood, earthquake, fire, civil disturbance, maintenance of skeleton staffing level, and other similar situations. Leave will not be denied unless the department demonstrates that it cannot function without the individual who is requesting a leave.
