Seasonal Leave Without Pay. If available annual or personal leave is not used prior to the effective date of seasonal leave without pay, leave will be paid in a lump sum payment. Some collective bargaining agreements provide for an option of carrying some annual/personal leave over an "off" season. The collective bargaining agreements should be consulted.
Seasonal Leave Without Pay. Incumbents of seasonal positions shall be placed on leave without pay at the end of the work season. Such an employee remains the incumbent of the position and is not on layoff status during the period of leave without pay. Seasonal employees may elect to carry over not more than one hundred eighty-seven and one-half (187.5) hours of annual/personal leave for use upon their return to work. Any additional annual/personal leave balance shall be cashed out as a lump sum. However, where the Employer determines that a seasonal employee will be on seasonal leave without pay for forty-five (45) consecutive days or less, the employee may elect to carry over their entire leave balance. The decision regarding the length of seasonal leave without pay will be made by the Employer at the time the employee is placed on seasonal leave without pay. The decision of the Employer is final. Whenever practical, seasonal employees shall be given ten (10) working days notice prior to entering seasonal leave without pay status. Seasonal employees on seasonal leave without pay may accept offers of employment in any department.
