Association Business Leave Pool Sample Clauses

The Association Business Leave Pool clause establishes a system that allows employees to collectively allocate a certain amount of leave time for use on association-related business. Typically, this pool is managed by the association or union, and employees may contribute a portion of their personal leave or be granted additional days specifically for union activities, such as attending meetings or conferences. The core function of this clause is to ensure that employees can participate in association business without sacrificing their own accrued leave, thereby supporting union operations and protecting employees' rights to representation.
