Personal Leave Day Program. Paid personal leave hours are provided under the Personal Leave Plan to cover time off from work that is planned and/or unplanned. All paid personal leave must be approved by the employee’s department head, supervisor, or other designee. A planned absence from work is defined as time off, requested and approved at least twenty- four (24) hours in advance by the employee’s department head, supervisor, or other person designated to approve time off. 1. Requests for planned personal leave of more than three (3) days shall be submitted at least forty (40) days in advance unless extenuating circumstances give rise to the need to submit requests within a shorter time frame. 2. Requests for planned personal leave shall be approved based upon staffing needs and to ensure proper and adequate unit coverage. Response to vacation requests will be in writing and will be provided to the employee no later than fourteen (14) calendar days after the date of submission of the request. If a second request is denied, the employee may request the supervisor to meet with the union representative and Employee/Labor Relations within fourteen (14) days of the denial to discuss the matter.
