Common use of Obligatory Leave Clause in Contracts

Obligatory Leave. Employees, regardless of job classification or location of work, will be offered the opportunity to attend timely training and re-certification courses in Non-Violent Crisis Intervention or Safe Management (the choice being at the Employer’s discretion). Their attendance will be deemed to be time worked and there will be no cost for said training. Employees will be provided with at least two (2) timely training opportunities prior to the expiry date of their certification. Employees who fail to attend either session will be placed on layoff (unpaid leave) until such time as they are re-certified, and ongoing failure to accept this training will result in disciplinary action. The above will not apply to employees who are on approved leaves of absence during the months preceding the expiry of their certification. However, when they are ready to return to work they must attend the first training opportunity that is offered, and they may be subject to temporary reassignment pending their re-certification.
