Common use of Leave Pending Decision Clause in Contracts

Leave Pending Decision. Pending a decision by the Director of Human Resources or designee, an employee applying for injury leave may be carried on sick leave or vacation leave with pay, in that order, which shall be restored to his/her credit upon certification by the Director of Human Resources or designee that injury leave has been approved. However, when an employee is applying for injury leave, exclusive of apparent heart attack cases, and the Division Administrator can establish that the injury occurred during the employee's hours of work for the City, then the employee may be carried on injury leave with pay pending certification by the Director of Human Resources or designee that injury leave has been approved. In no case may the employee be carried on injury leave for a period of time in excess of the employee's amount of accumulated sick leave and vacation leave prior to certification by the Director of Human Resources or designee that injury leave has been approved. If injury leave is not certified by the Director of Human Resources or designee, the employee will be charged sick leave, and vacation leave, in that order, for the time used.
