Eligibility
All employees are eligible to apply for an unpaid personal leave of absence.
Requesting Leave
Requests for unpaid personal leave must be submitted to your manager in writing in advance where practical. In emergency situations, written notice must be provided as soon as possible. The request should include the reason for the leave as well as the dates you expect to begin and end the leave. Job performance, absenteeism, and departmental requirements will be taken into consideration before a request is approved. Requests for unpaid personal leave may be denied or granted for any reason and are within the sole discretion of the Company. You may substitute any applicable and available paid leave for all or a portion of your unpaid personal leave. PTO will not accrue during an unpaid personal leave of absence. Holidays that occur during an unpaid personal leave of absence will not be paid. If you are granted a personal leave of absence, reinstatement to your position or any position is not guaranteed.
Extension of Leave
You are required to return from unpaid personal leave on the originally scheduled return date. If you are unable to return, you must request an extension of the leave in writing and in advance of the return date. Leave extensions will be considered on a case-by-case basis. If the Company denies the extension request, you must return to work on the originally scheduled return date or be considered to have voluntarily resigned from your employment.
