Common use of Personal and Emergency Leave Clause in Contracts

Personal and Emergency Leave. An employee may use up to six (6) days a year of accrued sick leave for personal reasons. No more than three (3) days of such personal charged to sick leave may be used consecutively; however the site administrator may approve more than three (3) days in unusual and compelling personal circumstances. A request for personal leave need not be granted when fifteen (15) percent or more of the total number of employees in a cost center or similar unit (but no less than one employee) have been authorized to be absent, or would be authorized to be absent as a result of granting such a request, on the day(s) that the personal leave is requested. In applying this provision, leave requests that have already been approved shall ordinarily take priority over those submitted at a later date. Site administrators are encouraged to provide incentives to employees at their sites to manage their absences and thereby moderate the use of monies made available to compensate substitutes (for example, using any unused sub monies at the end of the fiscal year in a manner that benefits the employees at the site.)
