Common use of Other Leave Clause in Contracts

Other Leave. When professional employees become unforeseeably absent from their duties because of impassable routes to work caused by weather or other natural phenomenon beyond one’s control, for one (1) to five (5) days, either consecutively or singly, the board agrees to the following: A professional employee will be able to apply unused personal days to cover the absence, if one so desires. A professional employee will be able to apply up to three (3) sick leave days to cover absences beyond those covered by the personal days. For above described absences in excess of five (5) days, the district may withhold from the professional employee’s salary the cost of a substitute teacher engaged on those days. A professional employee will never be assessed any money beyond that figure if aforementioned conditions exist.
