2. The employee obtains permission from his or her supervisor to attend;<br />

3. Such leave shall not interfere with staffing.<br />

In computing said 40 hours, time away from the employee’s job at the Employers is<br />

counted, not just time at the class or lecture, etc.<br />

B. Job related Education leave shall be extended on a prorated basis to Regular Parttime<br />

employees who work at pre-determined schedule <strong>of</strong> twenty (20) hours per week or<br />

more.<br />

C. Permission for such job related education leave will not be unreasonably denied,<br />

so long as the employee submits a written request for job related educational leave one<br />

month in advance. The Employers will notify the employee in writing within two (2)<br />

weeks <strong>of</strong> receiving the request whether the leave will be permitted or denied. Where<br />

more employees have requested job related education leave than the Employers can<br />

release, such requests shall be granted by seniority, unless a less senior employee’s<br />

request has been previously approved.<br />

D. Job related educational leave is to be granted on a fiscal year basis. To be eligible<br />

for job related educational leave the Regular Full-time or Regular Part-time employee<br />

must complete the probation period.<br />

E. A Regular Full-time or Regular Part-time employee who requests job related<br />

education leave but is denied by the Employers may carry over their paid job related<br />

education leave to the following year. If the Employers wished the employee to engage in<br />

an outside educational program, the Employers and the employee may mutually agree<br />

that this is charged against the employee’s job related educational leave. If the employee<br />

declines to engage in such job related educational program, the Employers have the<br />

option to withdraw the request or to require the employee to engage in such program in<br />

which event it is not charged against his or her job related educational leave, except that<br />

up to eight (8) hours in such employers mandated outside job related educational<br />

programs may be charged to the employees educational leave entitlement.<br />

F. The employee may be requested by the Employers to make a report on such job<br />

related educational leave activities to his or her manager/director.<br />

G. In-Service Education.<br />

When the Employers provide an in-service education program for employees in a<br />

particular classification or classifications under the Agreement, the Employers will use<br />

their best efforts to see that the in-service education sessions are available to all<br />

employees in such classification or classifications on all shifts. In the event that such best<br />

efforts are unsuccessful, the Employers will meet with the Union for the purpose <strong>of</strong><br />

working out a mutually acceptable solution.<br />
