Leave Procedure. 8.1.1 Employees who find it necessary to be absent from duty shall notify their immediate supervisor as far in advance of the anticipated absence as possible. Employees must verify any absence and complete absence reports which may be required by the District. 8.1.2 An employee shall notify the Dispatch Supervisor or Designee by 2:00 p.m. of the working day preceding the day he/she intends to return to the job. If a driver is unable to call in by 2:00 p.m., but is able to return to work and calls in by 5:00 a.m. the next day, the driver is guaranteed his/her bid hours, but not the bid schedule. If the driver fails to call in by 5:00 a.m. and desires to work, there is no guarantee of hours or schedule. 8.1.3 Employees who request leaves of absence of other than an emergency nature shall notify the immediate supervisor at least 10 days prior to the commencement of their leave except as otherwise stated herein. Leaves of absence, when granted, shall also specify when the employee is to return from leave. 8.1.4 Employees who do not request leave in accordance with the above notification procedures shall lose one day's pay for each day of unapproved absence. 8.1.5 The District may grant or deny a request for leave and shall determine whether the requested leave will be paid or unpaid in accordance with this agreement and state and federal law. 8.1.6 Time lost due to absence may be made up upon approval of the Superintendent or designee. Such made up time does not qualify as overtime for purposes of salary payment. 8.1.7 An employee will be discharged if he/she is absent in excess of three work days without reporting to his/her immediate supervisor unless, within a reasonable time thereafter, he/she shows good cause why it was impossible for him/her to report within such three day period.
