Common use of Flexible Personal Days Clause in Contracts

Flexible Personal Days.

Requests for a single personal day off, or for hours within a single shift, shall be granted upon receipt of at least two weeks’ notice. Last-minute notice is acceptable for personal emergencies. Requests with less than two weeks’ notice, requests for consecutive days off, for days before or after a holiday, or for other days designated by mutual agreement, will be reviewed and approved or denied on a case-by-case basis in order to meet core staffing needs. Denials will be tracked and compiled, by department, on a quarterly basis. All unused personal days will be converted at 50 percent of value to cash at the end of each year. Personal days may not be cashed out upon resignation or termination; however, upon retirement personal days may be cashed out at 50 percent of value. For the purposes of this Section 1.C.3., retirement means that the employee has retired from the organization pursuant to the terms of a qualified Xxxxxx Permanente retirement plan. These provisions will not supersede local collective bargaining agreements with superior conditions regarding notice requirements, granting of requests or cash-out provisions.
