Unforeseeable Leaves Sample Clauses

Unforeseeable Leaves. If the need for family or medical leave is not foreseeable, notice must be given by the employee as soon as possible and practicable. Employees are expected to promptly notify their supervisor as soon as they learn of the need for leave. If the employee's supervisor is unavailable, contact the next highest supervisor or the Human Resource Office. Except in the case of medical emergencies, employees are expected to call to advise their supervisor as soon as they know of the need for an expected duration of leave. In emergencies, the employee or a family member should contact Human Resources and give the same information and a number where they can be reached. Requests for leave should then be submitted in writing as soon as practicable. [Absent good cause or medical emergencies, written requests for leave should be submitted within three (3) business days after oral request is made.]
