Common use of Preapproval Clause in Contracts

Preapproval. An employee may take up to three (3) days (equal to the number of hours per day employed) of General Leave as Personal Leave, provided said employee has at least three (3) days of accumulated General Leave from which the Personal Leave shall be deducted. Personal leave may be granted in increments of two (2) hours, with an understanding that most Personal Leave requests of two (2) hours may not result in substitute coverage for the absence. Wherever possible, preapproval shall be required for the use of Personal Leave except as designated in 26.2.4.2. Generally, requests for Personal Leave should be submitted to the employee’s supervisor no later than ten (10) business days prior to the date of the requested leave. Some circumstances may dictate flexibility with advanced notification. In such instances, the employee should communicate the request for Personal Leave as soon as possible. Personal Leave is intended to be used to address personal business that can only be attended to during normal work hours. Personal Leave is not intended to be used to extend a vacation. Applications for Personal Leave shall be granted unless the leave is taken at any of the following times: a) The first five (5) or last five (5) school days of the year. b) The day before or after any holiday identified on the calendar. c) When such scheduled leave would result in the absence of more than one custodial staff member at the elementary and middle school or more than two custodial staff members at the high school, unless approved by the supervisor. d) When the number of substitutes requested in any one-day District-wide to cover Personal Leave exceeds three (3), unless approved by the supervisor.
