Unscheduled Leave. A. An employee’s unscheduled leave may be addressed as a performance issue by the Employer unless prohibited by law. Unscheduled leave is defined as:
Unscheduled Leave. Where an employee is granted an unscheduled leave for illness, bereavement or any other purpose and such leave commences immediately prior to the commencement of the employee's scheduled vacation, the vacation period shall be rescheduled upon the employee's return to work after the completion of the unscheduled leave.
Unscheduled Leave. In any calendar year, employees who do not provide at least a four (4) working day notice when requesting or taking personal leave will be charged with an occurrence. Upon issuance of the fifth (5th) occurrence, the employee will receive a Verbal Warning. Upon issuance of the sixth (6th) occurrence, the employee will receive a Written Warning. Upon issuance of the seventh (7th) occurrence, the employee will be suspended without pay for three (3) days. Upon the eighth (8th) occurrence, the employee will be terminated. Employees who are unable to provide notice due to extenuating circumstances will not receive an occurrence for all time related to the event, as long as the employee produces appropriate documentation validating the event (e.g., medical note, school note, airline information for delays or cancelled flights, police report, etc.), and shall not in any way be used against the employee. However, notification is still required and must be provided to the employee’s Department Supervisor prior to the start of his/her scheduled workday. Unscheduled Leave events where employees have initially provided appropriate notice, but then must change the date due to circumstances beyond their control, will not receive an occurrence for time relating to the event. Employees may be required to provide supporting documentation. Employees who are sent home by management due to an illness shall not receive an occurrence for the time relating to the event and no substantiating documentation will be required. This does not apply to employees who request to leave work. Occurrences generally do not apply to employees who are on FMLA. However, employees on FMLA leave are still required to abide by the Employer’s leave time notice requirement, when possible. Deliberate violation of this policy may result in disciplinary action.
