Personal Necessity A maximum of eight (8) days of accumulated sick leave may be used in any school year for personal necessity leave for any of the following reasons:
Personal Necessity Leave Each full time permanent or probationary worker shall be granted up to a maximum of 40 hours of paid leave per year for reasons of genuine personal necessity. Workers who work fewer than 40 hours per week are entitled to that proportion of personal leave granted full- time workers that is equal to the percent of a full-time contract. Each classified hourly employee shall be granted up to 3 days of paid leave per year on a pro-rata basis. Eligibility for personal necessity leave begins on the first of the calendar month following six complete months of employment. For the purpose of this section "personal necessity" means obligations or unavoidable duties of an individual worker that must be performed during regularly scheduled working hours. The number of hours of leave remaining will appear on the check stub each month. Circumstances under which personal necessity leave is appropriate include, but are not limited to:
10.10.1 Emergencies or obligations related to the worker's home or family members, including medical or dental appointments for the worker's family members when the nature of the appointment requires the worker's presence, or special family obligations such as attending a family member's graduation or marriage ceremony;
10.10.2 Emergencies or obligations related to the worker, including appointments for the purpose of conducting personal legal affairs or financial transactions, receipt of a court order requiring absence from work, or observation of a major religious holiday of the worker's faith. Personal necessity leave may not be used for recreation, planning a vacation, or social events, nor may it be used in lieu of vacation or sick leave (except after an illness of 10 working days or more and no full-pay sick leave is available, a worker may use personal necessity leave.) Unless there are unavoidable and compelling reasons (i.e., medical appointments or illness after being on extended sick leave) personal necessity leave may not be taken in conjunction with any holiday, sick leave, vacation, or other leave of absence. Personal necessity leave is not cumulative. It must be scheduled in advance with the supervisor whenever possible. When advance scheduling is not possible because of an emergency situation, the worker is required to notify the supervisor as soon as possible that the worker is requesting personal leave. All personal leave must have the approval of the supervisor as evidenced by the supervisor's signature on the time sheet. To ensure confidentiality, a worker may request Personal Necessity Leave by the subsection number without giving the exact nature of the request. The worker's appropriate supervisor(s) may require a more exact explanation before granting Personal Necessity Leave, in which case the worker may respond orally and the response shall be considered confidential between the worker and his/her supervisor(s). In unique emergency situations additional hours of personal necessity leave may be granted by the Director of Human Resources.
