|  Leave Time and Emergency
College Closings
On two different occasions, one of our employees was denied a request submitted
to the Human Resources Department for credit of approved leave that transpired
during emergency school closings. After the second denial, the employee checked
the Personnel Policy manual directly and found the statement included below
this paragraph. Only after bringing the official policy to the attention of the
Human Resources Director was the employee consequently granted the entitled
leave credit. The Faculty Senate urges ALL employees who have in
the past been denied credit for approved leave that coincided with emergency
school closings to contact the Human Resources Director to have their records
updated according to official policy.
The Personnel Policy Manual states the following:
SECTION
VI (As Amended April 17, 2000) WORKING HOURS
6.04 SEVERE WEATHER AND EMERGENCY CONDITIONS
3. Record Keeping Requirements for Sick and Annual Leave
Any employee, essential or non-essential, who is on sick leave or previously
approved annual leave during a declared severe weather or other natural or
man-made emergency, shall not be charged leave for the duration of the
emergency. Upon the employee's return to work from sick leave, or upon his/her
return to work from approved annual leave, the employee's leave records will be
credited accordingly.
