Common use of Unpaid Special Occasion Leave Clause in Contracts

Unpaid Special Occasion Leave. ‌ Ten-month unit members, with District approval, are eligible for unpaid special occasion leave. This might occur when a situation arises for which a ten-month unit member wishes time off for a legitimate purpose, but the reason does not qualify as Emergency Leave, nor can the event giving rise to this leave be moved by the employee to a school vacation period or over the summer. Some examples include, but are not limited to, a unit member’s own wedding, attendance at weddings for one’s child, or travel with a spouse who has won a trip for a specific week. No eligible unit member may receive more than one special occasion leave per school year, and such leave may not be for greater than five work days. The unit member must exhaust personal leave before special occasion leave shall be available without pay. If a request for leave is denied, the employee may appeal the decision to the Superintendent. The decision of the Superintendent is final and is not subject to the grievance process.
