8.10 EMERGENCY LEAVE Full time employees are eligible for paid Emergency Leave in
the event of death or serious illness, and/or injury in the immediate family. The initial days of
absence, up to three (3) days, used for the Bereavement portion of Emergency Leave shall not
reduce Sick Leave accruals. For purposes of this Section, immediate family shall include:
spouse, child, brother, sister, parent, parent -in-law, grandparents, grandchild, brother-in-law,
sister-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, and grandparent -in-law no matter where they live, and
any other relative living in the employee's household.
A. In the case where an employee experiences death or a serious illness or injury
in his/her immediate family, the employee will be eligible for Emergency Leave,
if one or more of the following circumstances exists:
The employee is required to provide health care to that immediate
family member.
2. The employee is required to take an immediate family member to a
medical facility for care and/or treatment. This includes being present
during and immediately after initial care or treatment for a serious
medical problem.
3. The employee requires time away from the job to recover from
emotional stress caused directly from a death or serious illness or
injury experienced by an immediate family member.
Each situation shall be reviewed by the employee's Department Head. If it is determined that the
necessary requirements for Emergency Leave have been fulfilled, the Department Head may
authorize the use of up to a maximum of twenty-four (24) working hours for that purpose. The
Village Manager may extend the Emergency Leave if circumstances warrant. Such extension
will reduce sick leave time accruals.
B. In the case where an employee experiences an emergency situation which seriously
endangers the life and/or well-being of a member of his/Iter immediate family, and/or
his property, the Department Head may authorize the use of one (1) Emergency day.
Examples of where the one (1) day Emergency Leave would be appropriate would
include: life threatening fire at the employee's home; an immediate family member
involved in a life threatening auto accident or any other emergency situation which
would threaten the life or well-being of an immediate family member, thereby,
requiring the employee's immediate attention. Each situation must be reviewed
and approved by the employee's Department Head.
An employee, upon the approval of his/her Department Head. may be authorized to use up to
eight (8) hours Sick Leave to attend a funeral not covered by this policy. The Department
Head's approval will be based on the departments operational requirements and the job
performance of the employee.
