Reasons for LWOP include illness, educational opportunities, and <br /> parental responsibilities arising from birth or adoption, and family illness. Leave of <br /> absence will not be granted if an employee has accepted regular on-going employment <br /> with another employer. <br /> Leave without pay is normally granted only after the employee has exhausted all <br /> appropriate leave. However, Division Managers may recommend an exception to <br /> i exhausting accrued leave before beginning LWOP. All exceptions must be reviewed and <br /> i <br /> approved by Human Resource and Risk Services. <br /> Regular full-time employees who are unable to work a 40-hour-per-week schedule for <br /> more than a pay period due to illness and who have used all accrued leave and are coding <br /> LWOP will be PAF'ed to part-time status until they are able to return to a <br /> 40-hoar-per-week schedule. <br /> Regular full-time employees who request a reduced schedule on a temporary basis and <br /> have exhausted all appropriate leave accruals, will be PAF'ed to part-time status if the <br /> ~I <br /> LWOP extends more than fifteen calendar days. <br /> SEE: 3-805 Family Medical and Parental Leave <br /> SEE: 3-840 Military Leave. <br /> 3-871 Request Procedures (Revised 10/30/96) <br /> <br /> 4 <br /> Requests for a leave of absence without pay must be in writing and must establish <br /> justification for the leave.
