Employees in a non-pay status for no more than two (2) pay periods for the leave year shall remain eligible for Personal Leave under this policy. Sick leave usage for maternity and catastrophic illness/injury, as defined in the Family Medical Leave Act of 1990 (D.C.

Personal Leave Days shall be selected by the employee and requested at least three (3) full workdays in advance of the leave date. The employee's supervisor shall approve the Personal Leave requests unless staffing needs or workload considerations dictate otherwise. If the request is denied, the employee may request and be granted an alternative day off of the employee's choice within one (1) month of the requested date.
All Personal Leave Days must be used in full-day increments within the leave year following the leave year in which earned and may not be substituted for any other type of absence from duty. There shall be no carryover or payment for any unused Personal Leave Days. Annual Leave days earned under this policy are subject to carryover or payment provisions.
Part-time employees are not eligible for Personal Leave Days as provided in this policy.
