Special Requests for Released Time Sample Clauses
The 'Special Requests for Released Time' clause defines the process by which employees can request time off from their regular duties for specific purposes not covered by standard leave policies. Typically, this clause outlines the types of situations that qualify for such requests, such as attending professional development events or handling personal matters, and details the approval process, including any required documentation or advance notice. Its core function is to provide a structured and transparent method for handling exceptional time-off requests, ensuring both organizational needs and individual circumstances are fairly considered.
Special Requests for Released Time a. Requests by the SEA for SPS staff members to be released for a period not to exceed five (5) consecutive days as special consultants to participate directly in a collective bargaining session on a specific proposal or issue, when the consultant's particular expertise would contribute to the development of a full consideration of the matter being discussed, shall be in writing to the SPS. Copies of written requests for released time shall be presented to the Chief Human Resources Officer or their designee, Labor Relations, and administrative supervisor as soon as possible, but not less than three (3) working days prior to the date of release. The requests will be reviewed by the SPS, and when released time is provided it shall be subject to reimbursement to the SPS for the cost of any necessary substitute.
b. Requests by the SEA for alternate or additional individual SPS staff members to be released during the school year for a sustained time to participate directly in collective bargaining sessions shall be in writing to the SPS. Written requests for released time shall be presented to the Chief Human Resources Officer or their designee, Labor Relations, and administrative supervisor as soon as possible, but not less than three (3) working days prior to the date of release.

The pool of days shall be shared by the three (3) bargaining units represented by the SEA (i.e., SEA, SAEOP and Paraprofessional Staff). This category applies to officers or members of the SEA who are engaged in activities necessary for the organization to fulfill its legal responsibility of bargaining representative for employees. The SPS recognizes this release of SEA members is of direct benefit to the SPS and is enacted in full accordance with the law. SPS will pay for up to 150 substitute days for joint endeavors which benefit the district and its educational program upon written approval by the Chief Human Resources Officer at least three days prior to the requested day(s).
