Van Drivers. All permanent part-time van drivers will be eligible to utilize eight (8) days of personal leave/sick leave per year. A driver “day” is defined as the average route time for each route. The calculation is figured as an average between the Van Advisor time designated by the Transportation Manager’s time study and the actual time worked. This time is multiplied by (8) and rounded to the nearest ½ hour. The same calculation will be used to create holiday hours for drivers. The time is reevaluated each December by the Administrative Manager to ensure changes in routes are reflected in personal and holiday pay. Requests for time off shall be as provided in the Employee Handbook.
a. Personal leave/sick leave will accrue at 2 days on the 1st day of each quarter (Jan 1, Apr 1, July 1, Oct 1). Drivers will be permitted to draw Personal Time in advance of its accrual subject to deduction from the last check for anyone who has utilized Personal Time prior to having earned the time. In such event Personal time used but not accrued would be subject to repayment from the employee’s last check. After ten (10) years of service employees are no longer subject to the repayment of Personal Time if used in advance.
b. If a day is a personal leave day rather than a sick leave day, the employee will be requested to give reasonable notice of the request and receive permission to be absent that day.
c. There is no prohibition against a permanent part-time van driver designating a non-paid, non-working day as a paid day off pursuant to Article 18, section 7, provided however that the van driver continues to be responsible to secure his/her own substitute for sick days or days off. Van drivers must make request for time off thru the time clock and/or verbally call in for use of personal time when ill or needing the day off.
d. Van drivers may carry over up to four (4) personal leave days at the end of each calendar year.
