UNAUTHORIZED LEAVE
Unauthorized leave
is defined as unauthorized personal absence of any employee which results in
nonperformance of those duties and responsibilities designated/assigned by the
district and its representatives including all duties and responsibilities as
defined by the Education Code, rules and regulations of the State Board of
Education and policies and regulations of the Board of Education of
Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District during a normal service day which
shall be defined as completion of teaching assignment and preparation for the
following day. Such unauthorized leave may include refusals to provide service,
unauthorized use of sick leave, and unauthorized use of other leave benefits.
Unauthorized
leave shall constitute a breach of contract and, therefore, may result in the
initiation of dismissal procedures, loss of salary or such disciplinary action
as may be deemed appropriate by the Board of Education.
Beginning on
the first day of unauthorized leave, no warrant shall be drawn in favor of any
employee who has not faithfully performed all duties prescribed (Education Code
13527).
An employee
who takes such unauthorized leave shall receive as salary only an amount that
bears the same ratio to the established annual salary as the number of working
days he serves bears to the required days of service.
The
superintendent or the supervisor of the employee may require a physician's or
other verification, such as an affidavit signed by the employee, as to an
employee's claimed reason for absence in any situation in which it is believed
that no valid grounds existed for the employee's claim for absence.
