Paid Leaves of Absence Paid leaves of absences granted under this Article shall not exceed the employee's normal work schedule.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE Employees, upon application in writing on the prescribed form, may be granted leave of absence for a period not to exceed: one month if they have less than three years’ service; two months if they have three years’ but less than five years’ service and three months if they have five years’ service or more, provided their services can be spared. Extended leave (leave of five days or more) will be granted only if no extended leave was granted in the preceding five calendar years. Employees will be entitled to unpaid pregnancy leave and parental leave in accordance with the provisions of the Employment Standards Act. All employees who have completed one year of continuous service, and are a custodial parent may, upon application, be granted leave for one day with pay to attend the birth of their child or to attend the homecoming of the mother and child. Such leave should, wherever possible be pre-arranged, and is granted only when the birth or the homecoming falls on a day which is considered to be a regular work day for the employee. Female employees who have completed one year of continuous service, will upon application be granted leave for one day with pay on the day immediately prior to the commencement of their pregnancy leave. All employees who have completed one year of continuous service may, upon application, be granted two days leave of absence per year, with pay, for the purpose of adopting a child. Such leave should wherever possible be prearranged and approved by the employee’s supervisor. Leave of absence without loss of pay will be granted to employees seeking Canadian Citizenship when they must be absent from work to appear before: (a) a Citizenship Officer to process their application (b) a Citizenship Judge to assess their qualifications (c) a Citizenship Judge to swear the oath of allegiance. Normally each absence will not exceed a half day. Employees who engage in other employment while on such leave shall be considered to have automatically terminated their service unless they have received permission in writing from the Commission to undertake such employment. Failure to report for work when such leave expires shall constitute sufficient cause for discharge from the Commission’s service. However, a reasonable extension of leave may be granted upon application.
Unpaid Leave of Absence If an employee is on an unpaid leave of absence, then vacation leave, compensatory time, or sick leave cannot be used for the purpose of maintaining eligibility for an Employer Contribution by keeping the employee on a State payroll for one (1) working day per pay period.
