Staff members cannot designate a specific person to receive their sick leave contributions. If the campus closes due to an emergency such as inclement weather, no leave needs to be claimed, unless your department has to work anyway. Emergency leave can be claimed for the death of a family member, for jury duty, or adverse weather conditions. Some circumstances warrant longer periods, such as aunts or uncles who raised you or family members for whom you are the primary caregiver. Ask Human Resources about special circumstances.
Presidential approval is required for special circumstances.
Days taken off after a death may be broken up into segments to take care of business matters. In this event, write a memo requesting additional days off and attach a copy of the original Emergency Leave request and number of days already used. Currently, if there are unsafe travel conditions in a distant home location, but conditions are fine in Stephenville, no emergency leave will be granted. If alternate campuses, such as Tarleton - Central Texas or the Langdon Center are closed, emergency leave will be granted for those employees. Volunteer firefighters who are called away during working hours can use emergency leave.
