Sample Leave or Time-Off
Policies
Benefits: In the absence of a personal time-off policy, when
has an employee called in sick enough times to justify
dismissal? How many days off are appropriate when a family
member is sick or dies? Do you have any choice about paying an
employee who is on a jury or spending two weeks at reserve
training? While it is possible to deal with each situation as it
arises, a consistent and clearly communicated policy can make
your life a lot easier. Employees will know what to expect and
you won't be faced with making policy decisions each time a
situation arises.
The attached file contains sample policies that you can quickly
customize to create your own personal leave policy. Be sure to
have any policy you formulate reviewed by an attorney — there
are a few areas where you have specific legal obligations, such
as jury duty and military leave. |
| File Description: The file contains a 18-page document in
rich text format (RTF) that is suitable for use with most word
processing programs used in the Windows environment. |
