hours per year may carry 60 general leave hours
forward to the next year. This maximum vacation
carryover is 180. NOTE: General leave accrual
will stop if the maximum accrual is reached.
Part-time employees receive prorated general
leave, based on their regularly scheduled hours.
4.0 Procedure
General leave is generally intended to be used
in whole day increments. However, at the discretion
of management, it can be used in increments of
whole hours, but not fractions thereof.
Requests to use general leave, for instances
other than unexpected illness, must be made in
writing and directed to the employee's immediate
supervisor. Generally such requests should be
initiated as early as possible, but not less than
two weeks (14 days) prior to the expected date.
Management will make every attempt to accommodate
reasonable requests, but reserves the right to
refuse requests that place an inordinate burden
on the operating department.
General leave requests will be approved on a
first come, first served basis.
In no case, however will general leave be advanced
before it is earned.
Accrued general leave is payable upon a termination
or a leave of absence.
