Common use of COMBINING TYPES OF LEAVES Clause in Contracts

COMBINING TYPES OF LEAVES. Employees may not combine two (2) types of leaves, except sick leave and medical leave, for the purpose of extending a leave without prior approval, which may only be granted under extraordinary circumstances. A true emergency, e.g., failure of a common carrier to maintain its schedule, negates the need for prior approval. Personal, medical and sick leave may be combined as necessary.
