Henderson Employee Handbook

2. The department head pre-approves the request. You will be required to substitute any accrued paid leave while on unpaid personal leave.

When the employee returns from personal leave, he or she will resume the same job or a comparable job. The employee and his or her dependents will be covered by company-paid benefits during the leave. The employee must make arrangements to pay his or her payroll contribution rates by personal check while on personal leave. If employment with another company occurs during the leave, the company will consider the employee to have voluntarily quit or resigned and all reinstatement rights are immediately forfeited. MILITARY LEAVE There is no employment service requirement that must be satisfied for military leave. If you are inducted into the U. S. Armed Forces, or if you have reserve duty training obligations, you will be given a leave of absence. We request that you provide us with as much advanced notice as possible. Upon completion of your duties, you will have reinstatement rights consistent with applicable laws and business requirements. As a company we have a military leave supplement based upon the difference between your military base earnings and your base company earnings. This is payable for six months, if you qualify. Please see your human resources business partner for additional information. Finally, you may request the use of PTO to cover part of your military leave; but, it is not required. If you comply with all applicable legal requirements concerning reinstatement, there will be no waiting period required for reinstatement of company benefits upon your return. The human resources business partner can provide counsel on requirements and rights as requested. When a death occurs in an employee's immediate family, all regular full-time employees may take up to three (3) days off with pay to attend the funeral, make funeral arrangements or to grieve, if the employee is unable to attend the service due to time or travel constraints. This benefit is separate from the Company’s PTO policy. With respect to any of the three (3) days which is a scheduled work day, the employee shall suffer no reduction in pay from the regular straight time hourly rate up to a maximum of eight (8) hours per day. In recognition of the diversity among our employees, bereavement leave must be taken within 90-days of the event. The Company may require verification of the need for the bereavement leave. Immediate Family Defined Immediate family members are defined as an employee's spouse, parent, children, siblings, grandparents, or grandchildren. All immediate family relationships recognize and include relatives that may be half, step, or current in-laws. Additional Paid Time Off The Company understands the deep impact that death can have on an individual or a family, therefore additional paid time off may be needed. The employee may make arrangements with his or her manager to take additional time through his or her available PTO bank. BEREAVEMENT LEAVE Bereavement Leave for an Immediate Family Member
