Common use of Paid/Unpaid Time Off Clause in Contracts

Paid/Unpaid Time Off. Intent: It is recognized that from time-to-time, an employee will be faced with situations that may require him/her to be absent from his/her work. Such time will be either with or without pay, or a combination of both, and will be granted where there is an entitlement under this Agreement, a clear legal or statutory requirement, or where, in the supervisor's judgment, such time off is warranted by specific circumstances. It is further recognized that it is the employee's responsibility to balance his/her need for a leave of absence with the work requirements of his/her unit. Where the granting of the absence is discretionary, considerations would include: factors beyond an employee's control that prevent him/her from attending work; severity or nature of circumstance; workload of the unit. The exact amount of time off is at the discretion of Management; however, the entitlements of employees in specific circumstances include those described below.
