Other Leaves The parties agree that employees covered by this Memorandum of Understanding are subject to other County authorized leave provisions including but not limited to: military leave, disaster leave, leave for civil service examinations and leave for school or child day care program activities. Specific leave information is available in the Appendix.
Other Leave Granting of leave is a matter between the employees and the mill management. The Company will consider length of service and will endeavour to arrange leave of absence to suit the employee's wishes. Employees with ten or more years service will be given special consideration.
Disaster Leave When there has been a natural disaster of a magnitude that requires the Board of Supervisors to Proclaim a County State of Emergency, the County will enact this disaster leave provision. During the proclaimed emergency period and for up to one year from the termination of the said proclamation, County employees may donate accrued compensatory time and vacation leave to other County employees who have lost work time because they have been a victim of a disaster affecting their primary residence. For up to one year from the termination of said proclamation, impacted employees may use up to 320 hours of donated leave. Such donated time will not exceed the total amount of time lost by the receiving employee including vacation, compensatory time used and any unpaid leave incurred. Unused donated time at the expiration of the leave provision period will be returned to the donor.
NATURAL DISASTER LEAVE 29.1 Where a permanent employee is unable to attend work because of a natural disaster, i.e. bushfire or flood, they will be entitled to be paid ordinary pay for the shift they would otherwise have worked on that day. This entitlement will apply once per calendar year and is not cumulative from year to year.
Casual Leave (a) Employees may be granted casual leave with pay to a maximum of two (2) hours for the following purposes:
Assault Leave Any employee who must be absent from his or her duties due to physical disability resulting from an assault by a student or the parent or legal guardian of a student of this system, while on duty and engaged in school- related activities, on or off school premises, before, during or after school hours, will be paid his or her full scheduled compensation for a maximum period of fifteen (15) days. Assault shall be defined as intentional physical touching. If permanently disabled, the employee must apply for disability retirement and no assault leave shall be granted after such retirement has been approved. The period of such absence, as defined in this provision, shall be termed "Assault Leave." Before Assault Leave can be approved, the employee shall furnish to the Superintendent, a written, signed statement describing the circumstances and events surrounding the assault and the cause thereof, including the location and time of the assault, name and address of victims and witnesses, and a description of the injuries sustained by each victim of the assault. If medical attention is required or sought, the employee shall also furnish to the Superintendent a statement of the nature of the disability and its duration, which has been signed by a physician licensed in the State of Ohio. Falsification of either the written signed statement of the events or circumstances surrounding the assault or the physician's statements shall be grounds for suspension or termination of employment. Assault Leave, which is approved by the Superintendent, shall not be charged against sick leave earned or earnable by the employee or any other leave to which the employee is entitled. Assault leave shall be immediately paid to the employee by the district at the employee’s current rate of pay and if Worker’s Compensation is applied for and granted, the employee shall reimburse Springfield City School District at the rate paid by Worker’s Compensation after payment is received from Worker’s Compensation. The Board may require an examination by and a certificate from a licensed physician, chosen and paid by the Board that the employee was disabled from performance of any duties which the employee is qualified to perform and the nature and duration of such disability. The employee is encouraged to file appropriate action against the person committing the assault, including criminal charges or civil action or both, in case of any assault or injuries.
Military Caregiver Leave The employer shall grant an employee who is a family member of a covered service member an unpaid leave of up to twenty-six (26) weeks (inclusive of the twelve (12) weeks granted under 1. above) in a single twelve (12) month period to care for the covered service member who has a serious illness or injury incurred in the line of duty on active duty.
General Leave of Absence a) Leave of absence without pay may be granted to employees for valid reasons as set out by Company policy.
