Common use of Professional Recognition Clause in Contracts

Professional Recognition. 1. The Board and the Association recognize that the nature of the jobs performed by members of the unit is such that work beyond the customary 40-hour work week often is required. The Board recognizes that professional staff will exercise professional judgment in determining when the needs of the school system permit them to attend to personal business of relatively brief dura- tion during normal working hours, without using leave for those absences from the work site. Personal business may include, but is not limited to, private appointments, lab tests, parental obli- gations, household appointments, emergency household demands, or other personal business. Unit members wishing to exercise this privilege will communicate their desire to access this priv- ilege and supervisors will give favorable consideration to this request, unless the supervisor has a reasonable basis for doing otherwise. 2. The parties agree that this privilege is to be used occasionally and is not for regular or frequent use. The parties also recognize that unit members will not overuse these privileges and the Board, at the appropriate supervisory level, retains the right to deny such privileges to any unit member whose pattern of absences from work appears inconsistent with the performance of their duties in the highly professional manner expected of all unit members. It is agreed that the substance of this section is subject to the grievance procedure, but not to the arbitration procedure.
