Personal Leave<br />
Unpaid Personal Leaves of Absence, if approved in advance, are available to employees who<br />
need unpaid time off from work for reasons not addressed by other types of Companyapproved<br />
leaves. All employees who have been employed for at least 90 days are eligible to<br />
apply for a Personal Leave of Absence of up to 30 days during a rolling 12 month period,<br />
provided they intend to return to work at the end of a proposed leave. Requests for Personal<br />
Leaves of Absence must be made in writing detailing the purpose and the expected<br />
beginning and ending dates of the requested leave. All requests should be submitted to your<br />
manager and Human Resources for acknowledgement, and then forwarded to HR One<br />
Connect for a final decision. In considering a request for leave, the Company may consider<br />
any and all lawful factors, including, but not limited to, the requesting employee's<br />
performance and attendance history and the Company's business needs.<br />
<strong>Employee</strong>s who are eligible for any other type of Company-approved leave (e.g. Family/<br />
Medical Leave, Military Leave, Short Term Disability, etc.) must exhaust that leave before<br />
a Personal Leave of Absence will be considered.<br />
Military Leave<br />
If you are called into active military service or you enlist in the uniformed services, you will<br />
be eligible to receive a military leave of absence, as required by law. To be eligible for<br />
military leave, you must provide HR One Connect with advance notice of your service<br />
obligations unless you are prevented from providing such notice by military necessity or it is<br />
otherwise impossible or unreasonable for you to provide such notice.<br />
Provided your absence does not exceed applicable statutory limitations, you will retain<br />
reemployment rights and accrue seniority and benefits in accordance with applicable federal<br />
and state laws.<br />
If you are a member of the Uniformed Services and are required to attend military training or<br />
called to active military duty, you will be paid the difference between your regular base pay<br />
and your military pay for a period not to exceed one year. You also have the option of<br />
maintaining your <strong>EDMC</strong> benefits for up to one year from the date your military leave begins.<br />
<strong>EDMC</strong> reserves the right to provide additional paid leave to employees serving in the<br />
military during certain military actions or on a case by case basis. Additional information<br />
can be found in the Military Leave Policy or contact HR One Connect for further information.<br />
