Frequently Asked Questions: Leave of Absence
What happens to funeral leave?
Funeral leave is included in PTO. To create additional flexibility, you will be
able to take whatever length of time you need from your short term bank with
your supervisor's approval. The first day (call in for a death in the family)
is considered scheduled time off. If a pattern/trend is identified in funeral leave utilization, may
address as an attendance or performance issue.
What if the employee is out on personal leave and they become
ill? Can the employee move to Family Medical Leave (FMLA) or are they able to access
their Long-Term Bank (LTB) and/or Carry-Over Bank (COB)?
