Long-Term Education Leave. Long Term Education leave is defined as a leave of absence with or without pay which is greater than three (3) weeks’ but less than one year duration. The Employer supports the concept of leave for the purposes of advanced or specialized training which will be of benefit to the Employee and the Employer. In certain cases, Long Term Education Leave may be approved for programs of independent study and/or research where criteria for evaluating the Employee’s performance on such leave can be clearly established and can be shown to be of significant benefit to the Employee and the Employer. The Committee may, at its discretion, allocate a specific amount of funds to Long Term Leave.
