Time off, while not paid, is available to eligible hourly and salaried employees to provide opportunities for rest, relaxation, and personal pursuits. Employees must submit requests for leave by writing your name and requested time off on the calendar domiciled in the office at least 2 weeks in advance. Time off is not automatically granted so if you do not receive authorization either because you did not give enough notice or someone else has also requested the same time off, then your request for time off may not be granted. Requests will be evaluated based on various factors such as business needs and staffing considerations and longevity during the proposed period of absence.
