Unassisted Leave. Unless the request creates special problems for the College, the College will grant an employee unassisted leave for a period of up to one year. Such a leave will be for any purpose deemed justifiable by the employee. If it involves experience of particular value to the College, such as industrial or business experience which does not lead to a change of placement on scale, the employee will receive an increment and accrue seniority during his/her absence providing these have been approved by the Vice President in writing prior to the commencement of the leave. Such approval will be conditional upon the leave being used essentially as planned. Under special circumstances a leave may be extended to a total of two (2) years. Since an employee's annual vacation and other benefits and entitlements will be reduced as a result of the unassisted leave, arrangements for any adjustments must be approved by the Xxxx before the leave begins.
Unassisted Leave. Once a calendar year, the employer will inform each regular and temporary employee, in writing, of their step on scale and increment date. The increment date shall be specified in the letter of appointment, except that in the case of the award of an increment for a degree, the increment shall be granted effective the first day of the month following submission to the Division Head of complete documentation to prove the degree has been completed. Increments shall be granted until the maximum on the scale is reached. Any change in criteria for the initial placement on salary scale as outlined in Article 5.2 shall, where applicable, be reflected in the advancement on salary scale for an existing employee effective on the date of change in Article 5.2.
