PERSONAL LEAVE 

An employee who wishes to request an unpaid personal leave must make that request in writing to his or her supervisor. These leaves are rare and are evaluated individually. Consideration is given to:

  • The compelling nature of the circumstances; 
  • Length of service; and 
  • Departmental staffing needs. 

Personal leaves are subject to approval by Human Resources.
