Unscheduled Time Off. 27.3.1. Personal leave provides income protection to an employee unable to work due to illness, injury or pregnancy, caring for an ill or injured member of his/her immediate family or other personal emergency. Unscheduled time off must be accounted for by completion of an Unscheduled Time Off Report upon the employee’s return to work. It is the responsibility of District’s management to control the potential abuse of unscheduled time off privileges. Tardiness less than fifteen (15) minutes will not be deducted from the employees pay, but numerous occurrences will be addressed through the progressive discipline procedures. Employees who are more than fifteen (15) minutes tardy to work must use accrued time off to offset the time away from work. Tardiness of more than fifteen (15) minutes may be considered unscheduled time off based on excessive occurrences. 27.3.2. Employees must notify their supervisor prior to the start time of their shift when they are unable to report to work. Any absence that is requested within twenty-three (23) hours of the start of an employee’s work schedule, excluding protected leaves of absence and bereavement leave, shall be considered unscheduled time off. 27.3.3. An employee’s attendance record will be reviewed with an employee after five (5) separate occurrences of unscheduled time off to provide an opportunity to assess problems that could potentially lead to disciplinary action. The accumulation of the sixth and seventh occurrence within a twelve (12) month period will result in a verbal warning. The eighth occurrence will result in a written warning. Employees who are charged with ten occurrences of unscheduled time off within a calendar twelve (12) month period will be subject to termination. A rolling (12) month calendar period will be utilized to measure absence occurrences. A “rolling” twelve (12) month calendar period is measured backward from the date the employee uses the leave. Absences of multiple consecutive days involving the same injury or illness will be considered a single occurrence. The District also has the right to discipline employees on the basis of total absences away from work. 27.3.4. Employees returning from an extended leave should notify their supervisor as soon as possible to facilitate personnel scheduling. 27.3.5. The employee may be required, at any time, to furnish a certificate issued by a licensed physician or nurse, or other satisfactory evidence of illness; however, for unscheduled absences of ten (10) consecutive days or more, a request for leave and a medical statement, on prescribed forms, stating expected date of return must be submitted to Human Resources. For absences of one (1) or more working days in an unpaid status, a request for leave and a medical statement on prescribed forms, stating expected date of return must be submitted to Human Resources.
