Use of PLA i. To use eight hours or less, the supervisor must be informed not later than one-half hour before the start of the employee's next shift. If any employee calls in within less than the eight hours prior to the shift, it is assumed that there is an illness or an emergency. This use of Personal Leave is primarily intended to replace Xxxx Leave and Personal Time. It is not necessary to offer a reason for the absence as long as the absence is for eight hours or less, but it is understood that this use of the PLA is intended for situations that were not pre-planned nor foreseen by the employee.

Employees showing a pattern of frequent short-notice absences may be required to begin providing medical documentation, such as a doctor's note, or other written justification for such absences taken on less than 72 hours notice.
