Personal Emergencies. Permanent employees may be eligible for a leave of absence with pay for personal emergencies so long as the employee informs Human Resources and/or their direct manager that they must leave due to a situation. This communication may happen via email, in person or by phone. Personal emergency leaves can be accommodated for a maximum of five (5) working days, such leave of absence for a personal emergency may be granted by the President and CEO or his/her designate and at the discretion of the Foundation President and CEO, leave may be extended to a maximum of ten (10) working days pending the individual situation. Within ten (10) calendar days of completing the leave of absence, in order for the employee to receive the leave with pay, the employee shall, in writing, provide a claim explaining the nature of the emergency situation which must be deemed reasonable to have prevented the employee from preforming their duties, to the Foundation in order to confirm the leave will be granted with pay. The party requesting the leave will remain on the payroll roster without interruption, and in good faith, until the claim has been approved by the Foundation. Any monies paid out under this provision that prove to have been paid in error and/or without reasonable explanation will be recovered in subsequent pay periods from the claimant’s entitlement.
