Eligible employees may request paid personal leave to fulfill personal obligations. Employees in the following employment classifications are eligible to request personal leave:

Eligible employees may request personal leave only after they have completed 240 calendar days of service. If you wish to take a personal leave, give a written request to your supervisor as far in advance as possible.

An eligible employee cannot take more than 3 calendar days of personal leave every 1 year.

We may not approve every request for personal leave. We will look at each request individually. The business priorities of MCC must come first. We will make our decision based on a number of factors such as our business needs, workload, and staffing requirements during the requested time period.

Subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations of the applicable plans, MCC will continue to provide health insurance benefits for the full period of an approved personal leave.

Your benefit accruals, such as vacation, sick leave, and holiday benefits, will continue during a personal leave.

If you do not come back to work promptly at the end of a personal leave, we will assume that you have resigned.
