Administrative Leave The Superintendent has the authority to place an employee on administrative leave if the Superintendent believes that it is in the best interests of the students, staff, or community.
Adoptive Leave A leave of absence of up to one (1) year shall be granted by the Board for adoptive purposes. A maximum of five (5) days with pay shall be provided for such leave. The remainder of the leave shall be without pay, except the teacher may elect to have an additional fifteen (15) days of the leave with pay provided the teacher authorizes the deduction of the additional fifteen (15) paid days from the teacher’s accumulated illness leave. Adoptive leave cannot be taken in conjunction with teaching summer school or intersession.
Executive Leave The Employer shall authorize a leave of absence with pay for one (1) employee who is a member of the Association for a two-year period beginning four (4) weeks after written notice by the Association to the Bureau of Employee Relations and said employee’s agency. During such leave of absence with pay, the employee shall continue to receive and retain all of that employee’s wages, rights, benefits, and seniority as a state employee except that all leave accumulation shall be frozen for the duration of the leave of absence. Upon returning from the leave of absence, the employee shall resume earning leave at the rates appropriate to that employee’s service at the time of return. The Employer agrees that there shall be no action taken with respect to the employee or the employee’s state position prior to or following that employee’s return from the leave of absence because of that employee’s legal union activities. The Association agrees to reimburse the Employer for the full cost of the wages and benefits for the employee, and to indemnify the Employer against any and all liabilities associated with the leave of absence, including but not limited to workers' compensation.
Paid Administrative Leave After notifying the Association, an Appointing Authority may place a supervisor on administrative leave for a period not to exceed two (2) weeks. The Commissioner of Minnesota Management & Budget may authorize the leave to be extended for a period not greater than another thirty (30) calendar days.
Special Leave (a) Where leave from work is required, an employee shall be entitled to special leave at their regular rate of pay for the following:
Legislative Leave To the extent authorized by 21 VSA 496, and subject to any conflict of interest or legal barrier as may be determined by the Attorney General, the Hatch Act or any other applicable federal law, state employees shall be entitled to leave of absence in order to serve in the General Assembly. Leave under this situation must be specifically approved in advance by the appointing authority and Commissioner of Human Resources.
Requesting Leave Eligible employees must (1) notify their supervisor following their department’s call-in policy or guidelines and (2) contact the American Red Cross Absence Management Service Center (the “Leaves Administrator”) at 0-000-000-0000 at least 30 days in advance of the start of the leave. If leave is not foreseeable, employees must provide as much notice as reasonably practicable under the circumstances. Requests for leave under this policy must be made to the Leaves Administrator within 15 days of the qualifying event, except for Parental Leave. Employees applying for leave under this policy are required to submit the documentation requested by the Leaves Administrator to support the request. Where leave under this policy also qualifies for FMLA leave or similar state paid leave programs, employees must submit the required FMLA or state leave documentation, which may also suffice to support this policy’s documentation requirement as determined by the Leaves Administrator. If the requested Paid Family Leave is not approved by the Leaves Administrator prior to requested start date of the leave, an employee can elect to use PTO while waiting for approval of the leave request beyond the one week waiting period. If the Paid Family Leave is approved, the Leaves Administrator will reinstate 80% of PTO hours taken beyond the waiting period with Paid Family Leave. If this results in an overpayment, the Red Cross will recover the overpayment following its standard recovery procedures through Payroll. Failure to provide documentation requested by the Leaves Administrator in support of the leave by the due date set by the Administrator will result in the request being denied.
Special Leaves An employee who is on an approved FMLA leave or on a Voluntary Reduction in Hours as provided elsewhere in this Agreement maintains eligibility for an Employer Contribution.
Advanced Sick Leave a. Employees who are incapacitated for the performance of duties because of serious disability or ailment may request advance sick leave not to exceed two hundred and forty (240) hours. These two hundred and forty (240) hours of sick leave may be advanced to an employee with a medical emergency related to the adoption of a child, for family care or bereavement purposes, or to care for a family member with a serious health condition.
Military Reserve Leave 1. Any employee who is a member of national military reserve unit or National Guard shall be allowed up to seventeen (17) days leave without loss of pay or other accumulated leave, when ordered to active duty by the appropriate unit during the regular term.
