Emergency or Personal Leave Clause Samples
The Emergency or Personal Leave clause allows employees to take time off from work in situations of unforeseen emergencies or for personal reasons. Typically, this clause outlines the conditions under which leave can be requested, such as sudden illness, family emergencies, or urgent personal matters, and may specify the process for notifying the employer and the duration of permissible leave. Its core function is to provide flexibility for employees to address urgent or unexpected personal needs without jeopardizing their employment, thereby supporting both employee well-being and operational clarity.
Emergency or Personal Leave. In the event of an unforeseen emergency or important personal business, a regular employee may use up to five (5) days of sick leave per school year for emergency or personal leave, either in advance or retroactively, for a contingency not provided for by statute or other school District policies. An emergency is defined as an unforeseen situation that calls for immediate action and must be taken care of during working hours. Personal leave is limited to the transacting of important personal business that can only be accomplished during the normal work day.

In the event the supervisor grants permission for the employee to leave early for an emergency (including important personal business or important family matters), the employee shall not be required to submit a District Emergency Leave Request Form, provided it is not necessary to hire a paid substitute. If a paid substitute is necessary, the leave must be applied for on the proper form. Application for emergency leave must be made through the Human Resources Department.
