• Employees must provide their supervisor with documentation from the school verifying that the employee participated in a school activity on the day of the absence. Exempt employees may be provided time off with pay when necessary to comply with state and federal wage and hour laws. VICTIMS OF FELONY CRIMES LEAVE An employee who is themselves a victim or who is the family member of a victim of certain serious crimes may take time off from work to attend judicial proceedings related to the crime or to attend proceedings involving rights of the victim. An employee who is a family member of a crime victim may be eligible to take this leave if the employee is the crime victim’s spouse, parent, child, or sibling. Other family members may also be covered depending on the purpose of the leave. The absence from work must be in order to attend judicial proceedings or proceedings involving rights of the victim. Only certain crimes are covered. You must provide reasonable advance notice of your need for leave, and documentation related to the proceeding may be required. If advance notice is not possible, you must provide appropriate documentation within a reasonable time after the absence. Any absence from work to attend judicial proceedings or proceedings involving victim rights will be unpaid, unless you choose to take paid time off. For more information regarding this leave (including whether you are covered, when and what type of documentation is required, and which type of paid time off can be used), please contact the HR Manager. VOLUNTEER SERVICE PERSONNEL LEAVE No employee shall be disciplined for taking time off unpaid to perform emergency duty as a volunteer firefighter, reserve peace officer, member of a disaster medical response team, or emergency rescue personnel. You are also eligible for unpaid leave for required training. Volunteer firefighters, reserve peace officers, members of a disaster medical response team, and emergency rescue personnel may take up to a total of fourteen days per calendar year to engage in fire, law enforcement or emergency rescue training. When taking time off for emergency duty, please alert your supervisor before doing so, when possible. You may choose to use any accrued PTO leave time, if available, for an absence described above. CONTINUING EMPLOYEE EDUCATION Some employees may need to attend training programs, seminars, conferences, lectures, meetings, or other outside activities for the benefit of AJK or the individual employees. Attendance at such activities, whether required by AJK or requested by individual employees, requires the written approval of both CEO and COO. To obtain approval, any employee wishing to attend an activity must submit a written request detailing all relevant information, including date, hours, location, cost, expenses, and the nature, purpose, and justification for attendance.
