Utilization and Disposal. Personal leave shall be used for any and all purposes for which sick and/or annual leave have heretofore been used. Personal leave requests require the prior approval of the Employer except in the case of illness or injury to the Engineer Officer. Engineers' requests shall be given full consideration and, to the extent practicable, approved. However, the parties agree that the final decision with regard to approval or disapproval of any request will be based on the Employer's evaluation of the needs of the job. In an absence due to illness or injury for one (1) day or more, the Employer may require a physician's certificate.
