The Mayor may allow any full-time, non-bargaining unit employee paid time off work, not to exceed four eight-hour days, because of the death in his or her family of a mother, father, sister, brother, spouse or child. In the event of the death of other relatives in the employee's immediate family, the Mayor may, within the above limitation, allow such time off as he or she deems necessary depending on the circumstances of each situation. The use of emergency leave is a privilege which must be specifically requested by the employee of his or her department head and granted by the Mayor; it does not automatically consist of the maximum time allowed, but is at the discretion of the Mayor. In cases where more time off is desired than granted, the employee shall request, in advance, the use of his or her accrued vacation or sick leave credit.
