The Board of Trustees recognizes the need for long- and short-term leaves of absence when such leaves are considered beneficial to the District and/or employee, and when such leaves are in keeping with existing laws, regulations or contracts.
The Board of Trustees reserves the right to approve all leaves of absence except those covered by law or collective bargaining agreements (i.e. paid sick leave, vacation, industrial accident/illness leave). Unpaid leaves of absences for classified employees of ten (10) days or fewer will need approval by the employee's appropriate administrator and the Vice President of Business Services or his/her designee. Unpaid leaves of absences for classified employees of more than ten (10) days duration will need approval by the employee's appropriate administrator, the Vice President of Business Services or his/her designee and the Board of Trustees.

Benefits of Probationary or Permanent Part-Time Classified Employees: In accordance with Education Code Section 88190, all probationary and permanent part-time classified employees shall be entitled to sick leave, and all other benefits conferred by law on classified employees. Part-time employees shall be entitled to all leaves and benefits granted by the governing board to a majority of the regular full-time employees in the classified service of the district or to regular full-time employees in the same classified positions or general class of positions; but such leaves and benefits may be prorated in the same ratio as the regular work hours per day, days per week, weeks per month, or months per year of such part-time employees bear to eight hours per day, 40 hours per calendar week, four calendar weeks per month, or 12 calendar months during the school year.
All other leaves, paid or unpaid, for which classified and academic employees are eligible are listed in the appropriate bargaining agreements.
