Just a heads up for everyone - in our contracts we have 3 personal/emergency leave days. These days come out of your sick days. So if you don't have any sick days left you don't have any emergency days either.
In the past Mary Shultz let you use these for anything, christmas shopping, extra vacation etc...
The new HR person is sticking more closely with the wording in our contracts and will NOT be approving personal days for just any old thing.
The following is her response to my email:
Emergency leave is to take care of things that come up out of the blue that being said christmas shopping no. Furnace out, pet sick, car broken down are good examples of when you can use it. k

Also in the past people have been able to take more vacation days than their allotted amount for the year. They just took them as unpaid. HR is no longer allowing this. So if you only get 10 days per year but you want to go on a 15 day vacation you will have to save some from one year and wait until the following year to take your trip. You may not use your personal days as vacation days.
You will notice in ERMA when you put in your vacation requestif you have run out of days it will not allow you to submit the request.
