Religious Observations. The unit member will have the option of exchanging days with unit members who are off duty, without loss of pay, benefits or leave days, for the purpose of observing recognized religious holidays.
Religious Observations. The GME programs conform to the operating schedules of the participating hospitals, clinics and other teaching sites, and many of these operate 24 hours every day of the year. Trainees involved with GME programs may be scheduled to work during any time the clinical teaching sites are open. The residency programs will make attempts to accommodate religious observations for scheduling rotations and work assignments but can make no guarantees that such request will be granted. Requests will be evaluated on the following factors: ~ The request must represent a bona fide religious observance of a limited time duration of no more than one day at a time for most important religious observances. ~ Leave requests for single days off service must be requested 3 months in advance of the religious holiday. If multiple individuals request the same date, and clinical service responsibilities do not allow everyone to have this day off, it is understood that assignments will be rotated: an individual required to work a religious holiday during one academic year will be more likely to have leave granted the next year. ~ Requests for a longer period of religious accommodation (for example a request to be placed on elective rotation for a specific month) must be made prior to the time rotation schedules are finalized. The GME programs cannot guarantee that every request will be accommodated given educational and curriculum requirements of the residency program. Each program will attempt to be equitable in assignments over the entire training program. ~ Religious observances that include multiple consecutive days when the individual will be off work assignments will be treated like any leave request for vacation in accordance with sections 2 and 3 above. ~ Recurring day (or portion of day) off service must be discussed in advance with the program director (for example recurring Saturday or Sunday or portion thereof). The trainee should propose ways that he/she can cover other service assignments so that clinical coverage is equitable. The GME programs cannot guarantee that such recurring requests will be able to be accommodated.
Religious Observations a. If an employee has a religious affiliation which requires the observance of a religious holiday which falls on a working day and the obligation cannot be met outside the work day, said employee shall be granted leave for such observance.
Religious Observations. 24.1 Up to 15 hours per year shall be granted by the Administration, without the loss of pay, for religious observances provided that attendance at school on such days would prevent the teacher from participating in a specific religious practice on that day. Should any question arise concerning the application of this contract provision, the teacher’s clergy shall be considered the proper authority for resolution. In all instances of absence for religious observances, notice must be given to the Principal at least 48 hours prior to such absence. Principals may request teachers to provide a list of anticipated religious observance requests at the beginning of the school year. For any additional hours beyond the maximum provided by this Article, teachers may elect to use personal leave or request unpaid leave.
Religious Observations. Upon application an employee will be granted up to two (2) days (16 hours) per school year for required religious observance. An employee who requests such time will identify the holiday(s) and provide their Supervisor with the dates to be taken sufficiently in advance of the holiday to allow the Supervisor to make any arrangements they may deems necessary to cover that employee's job responsibilities. Examples of acceptable religious holidays where school may be in session include, but are not limited to, Yom Kippur, Rosh Hashanah, Easter Monday and Eid-al-Fitr. The two (2) days (16 hours) shall not be charged against the employee's PTO leave accumulation. Any days taken for additional religious observance described above will be deducted from the employee's PTO hours as defined and provided for in above.
Religious Observations. Employees may request up to two (2) days off without pay per calendar year to observe spiritual or holy days. Such leave shall not be unreasonably withheld. A minimum of twenty-one days (21) notice is required for time off requests under this provision unless this is impossible due to the unpredictable nature of the spiritual or holy day, in which case as much notice as possible shall be provided. Employees granted time off under this provision may use accrued vacation pay, if available, in which case the days taken shall be considered days worked for purpose of entitlement to statutory holiday pay.
Religious Observations. 8.15 Up to two (2) days per year non-cumulative shall be granted to participate in religious observations, provided that attendance at school on such day would prevent the teacher from participating in a specific religious practice on that particular day. Should any questions arise concerning the application of this contract provision, the teacher’s clergy shall be considered the proper authority for resolution. In all instances of absence for religious holidays, notice must be given to the Principal at least one week prior to such absence. Principals may request teachers to provide a list of anticipated religious holiday requests at the beginning of the school year. The number of accrued sick days available to a teacher is reduced by one for each day of religious leave.
