§ 145-24. Personal days.

A. 

Permanent full-time employees who have completed their probationary period shall be eligible for a two-day leave of absence with pay in each fiscal year. Such leave shall be granted only for reasons of personal business requiring the employee’s presence during his normal working hours and which cannot be postponed to another time outside of normal working hours. Reasons for such leave may not include reasons specifically covered by other provisions of this policy. Personal days may not be accumulated or carried over from year to year, and the failure to use personal days by the employee will lose the two personal days if not used by the end of the fiscal year.

B. 

An employee desiring to take his personal day must make application for the day not less than 24 hours prior to the time of the desired leave. Such application shall be made to his department head and must be approved by the department head prior to taking the leave. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
