Sick leave

travel or personal leave, you are to also contact and speak directly to the Chief of Permits and Commercial Vehicle Enforcement. In these situations I expect you to submit a leave slip to document your absence; however, if you have an acceptable excuse for being late, I may allow you to make up the time within the same workweek, otherwise the absence will be considered to be personal leave. Unreasonable excuses, or continued attendance problems may be charged as Unauthorized Leave Without Pay…

The night swallowed the sun whole, leaving it’s skeleton behind as the moon. Maybe the night didn’t like bones, or maybe it was full. The night finished it’s meal, but didn’t leave, It seemed like it was waiting for someone to come along and shoo them out, someone to put their foot down and say: “Get out of here, you stinkin’ night!”. The thing is that I probably wasn’t alone, I could feel it. The rustling of the bushes, the cold breeze making my hair stand on end. My breath was sparse, and I…

writing to express my concern about the amount of maternity leave and the pay provided to new mothers and fathers in the United States. I am aware of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) entitling employees to take twelve weeks of unpaid, job protected leave. Also, for some families, they may be given short-term disability for only six weeks. Unfortunately, not everyone is eligible for the twelve weeks of unpaid leave. To receive leave, an employee must have been at…

Pro Paid Leave Almost 75% of American children live in households with working parents and no stay-at-home mom or dad. This means that the vast majority of parents would need to take time off work to take care of sick kids or care for a newborn, sadly that percentage doesn’t match up with the percentage of workers who actually have paid family leave. As of 2011, only 11% of the private sector and 17% of the public sector could take time off from work to care for a sick child…

started to come down harder, the ice was thickening on the roads and I had an anxious puppy in the car. Just a few months before everything was very different. I had a solid job, what I had thought was happiness, and a great home. When she decided to leave my world turned upside down. Now I was sitting in my Nissan; trunk piled high of loose clothes, and random knick knacks I had collected over the years. She was never the love of my life but I had made her my world. I had built a life around…

where I am going with this. Paternity leave is important for both genders in today’s society because a husband and wife team can’t always lean on their parents, aunts, uncles, friends, or anyone for that matter sometimes, and whether or not they can should not make a difference. The two only have each…

Trauma vs Valuable Life Experience I remember a time when I had to listen to my mom beg for my life and her own. It started one day in the early afternoon around 1 o’clock. My bedroom frigid and relaxing from the air conditioning, as I laid there listening to the movie, “Mac and Devin go to High school.” All while texting my friend Kayla about what time I was going to go over to her house that weekend. “This might be the start of a really great week, it’s going so well and I can’t wait to see…

and staring at the door, waiting for the officers to come in and tell us that the papers were done. After about half an hour of waiting, the officers came in and told us to go to the restroom, and then wait out into the large room with the fish to leave. We all went to the hall with the bathroom, which was where Roberto had the best idea I can recall ever hearing. He told us there was a window in that hall, and we realized what he was thinking. Papá opened the window, looked out, and then…

Intro: Hello, I'm Josie Taylor, apart of the proposition team along with Hayley, Jess, and Gabby. We are defending the topic the “Public Advocacy about mandatory paid parental leave should rely on scientific and economic arguments” Definitions: To clear all that up, I’m going to define some of the words in that statement. First off we have public advocacy We defined public based off the words of Habermas as “when citizens act as a public when they deal with matter of general interest without…

subjected to a further increase. The Children and Families Act has given parents the option, subject to eligibility, to take maternity leave, together with ordinary paternity leave, or to take Shared Parental Leave (SPL), (Stevens, M. 2015). In order to be eligible to enter the SPL system, both parents must satisfy a two-stage test. The parent that wants to share parental leave with the child’s mother has to fulfil what is called an ‘employment and earnings’ meaning they must have worked for any…
