Personal leave without pay may be granted to all regular employees. The daily rate of pay shall be deducted for each day’s absence. The PLWOP must be approved by the Vice President/Executive in charge of the area with agreement from the CHRO. Personal leave without pay cannot exceed up to and including fifteen (15) working days within a rolling year. PLWOP beyond fifteen (15) working days requires approval by the President. When requesting PLWOP the employee must clearly state the purpose of the leave. Reasons for granting PLWOP are maternity, paternity, adoption, disability, health, military service, or extenuating and extraordinary personal reasons. Employees on PLWOP will not receive pay for holidays that occur during the leave period, nor accrue additional sick or vacation leave. Employees who are granted PLWOP and do not work a majority of the duty days in any given month will be responsible for the full cost to the College for all benefits including, but not limited to, health, dental, vision, and disability.
If PLWOP does not involve an emergency situation, it must be approved through a payroll leave request form at least one (1) week prior to the first PLWOP day taken. All accumulated sick, personal and vacation leave must be exhausted before PLWOP can be taken.
