Leaves of Absence a) Personal Reasons. Subject to the requirements of the business, the Company may grant a leave of absence without pay to an employee for legitimate personal reasons on one month's advance written notice, whenever possible, clearly stating the reason for the request and the proposed duration. The employee will accumulate seniority during an absence of less than one year. b) Union Business Upon receipt of a written request from the National Representative of the Union or the Local Union President which has been submitted reasonably in advance, the Company agrees to grant a leave of absence, without pay, to a member of the Union provided, in the determination of the Department Manager affected by such leave, that it would not adversely impact on the normal, efficient operation of the department. Requests for leaves of absence to attend to union business will not be unreasonably denied. An employee granted a leave of absence as outlined above, will continue to be compensated at his/her regular straight time hourly rate for those hours that he/she would have been scheduled to work during such leave. All wages so compensated will be recorded by the Company and submitted to Local 914 for reimbursement at the end of each month.
