Unscheduled Annual Leave. a. An employee who is unable to report to duty due to emergency or unforeseen circumstances is responsible for notifying his or her Supervisor or designee as soon as possible. 1. Shift workers, including firefighters, must make every reasonable effort to notify their Supervisor or his or her designee as far in advance of the start of their scheduled shift as soon as possible, but at least one (1) hour prior to the start of the shift. Such notification will include the employee's name, reason for absence, estimated duration of the absence, and the type of leave the employee is requesting. Any absence beyond the estimated duration will also be reported in the same manner. 2. Other employees will notify their Supervisor or his or her designee as soon as possible, but no later than one (1) hour after the beginning of his or her scheduled starting time at work. Such notification will include the employee's name, reason for absence, estimated duration of absence, and the type of leave the employee is requesting. Any absence beyond the estimated duration will also be reported in the same manner. b. The Supervisor or his or her designee may approve or disapprove a request for annual leave or leave without pay at the time of initial notification. Alternatively, the supervisor or his or her designee may acknowledge the notice, and defer the approval or disapproval of the requested leave until the employee returns to work. Upon return to work, unscheduled leave requests will be confirmed by completing an OPM-71 or other approved method acceptable to the supervisor. c. Annual leave for unscheduled reasons will be approved if available if the employee established that the basis for the request is valid and that the employee could not reasonably be expected to report for duty.
