Bereavement Leave
In the event of the death of a teacher's current spouse, domestic partner, child, parent, legal guardian, brother, sister, grandparent, grandchild, or mother-, father-, sister-, brother-, son- or daughter-in-law, he/she may take up to five (5) consecutive scheduled work days off with pay with the approval of the Headmaster. Leave and Reasonable Accommodation for Victims of Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Stalking Employees who are victims of domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking are eligible for unpaid leave for the following purposes: attending court hearings, seeking medical, legal or psychological assistance, or for otherwise protecting their own or their child’s health, safety, or welfare. Accrued sick leave may be used for such absences. The maximum length of unpaid leave an employee may take under this policy is limited to 12 weeks, offset by any Family and Medical Leave taken in the same 12-month period. Employees who seek to take time off for these reasons must give the school reasonable notice. However, if an unscheduled or emergency court appearance is required for the health, safety or welfare of the victim or his/her child, the employee need not provide advance notice, but in this situation we require employees to provide evidence from the court or the prosecuting attorney that s/he has appeared in court. The school will, to the extent allowed by law, maintain the confidentiality of an employee requesting leave under this provision. The School also provides reasonable accommodations to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking, provided the accommodation does not pose an undue hardship or pose a safety risk. Accommodations may include implementation of safety measures or procedures in the workplace or adjustments to job duties or the work facility in response to domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking. Any employee wishing to request such an accommodation should speak with his or her manager or the Headmaster. Because domestic violence and assault may find its way into the workplace, we encourage any employee who has safety concerns to alert the school. This will assist us in maintaining a safe workplace. Please see the Workplace Violence Policy for more information. Employees who have been employed by the School for at least 90 days may take paid leave for up to 30 business days for the purpose of organ donation and up to five business days for bone marrow donation during a one-year period. To do so, the employee must provide written verification to the school that he or she is an organ or bone marrow donor and that there is a medical necessity for the organ or bone marrow donation. Employees taking this type of leave are first required to exhaust their paid sick leave benefits as follows: up to five Organ And Bone Marrow Donor Leave
