The fact that a Leave is possible under
these regulations does not mean that the
requested Leave must be granted. A
Leave of AbSence deprives the employee's
department of the services of an
employee, who it is assumed is needed if
the department is to properly do its job.
Leav -s—of Absence Without Pay, except in
the case of disciplinary leaves, should
be considered as a privilege and the best
interests of the department and the
County Service must be the determini
factors in whether such leaves are
granted or not.

• Employees should, whenever possible,
notify their Department Head that they
will be unable to work before their
normal work day begins, in any case, not
later than one-half hour after the
working day begins.
• Employees should notify their Department
Head that they will be unable to work no
later than, one-half hour before their
normal work shift begins in departments
where the Department Head or his
designated representative is normally
on duty to receive such calls. Employees'
in Departments where the Department Head
or his representative is not normally on
duty prior to the beginning of the nor-
mal work shift shall notify their Depart-
ment Head or his representative at the
beginning of the nal:alai work shift or,
in any case, no later than one-half hour 1
after the work shift begins. 1
Departments operating on a -24-hour REASON FOR CHANGE basis are extremely hard pressed
to find replacements in an emergency. This oftentimes necessitates working staff
overtime sometimes for an entire additional shift, due to lack of time allowance for
advance planning. • The result is additional unnecessary overtime .expenditures and
-inadequate coverage of critical work stations.
