ARREST
Any employee arrested or charged of a serious criminal offense (including any felony or violent
misdemeanor) while employed with Mission that could affect the employee’s ability to perform
his/her job or result in time away from work is required to notify his/her supervisor/manager as
soon as possible, but in no event later than three (3) days after such circumstance. In the event of
anytime away from work, the employee will be required to use any available PTO. PTO will not
renew unless the employee returns to work. The Attendance and Punctuality Policy will apply
during any period of incarceration. Failure to report an arrest or charge under this policy or the
misrepresentation of the circumstances may result in corrective action, up to and including
termination of employment.
BEREAVEMENT LEAVE
In the event of a death in the immediately family of an employee, the employee will be allowed a
bereavement leave of absence with pay not to exceed one (1) week per calendar year in preparation
for and attendance at the funeral service. Employees must be on active status during the death of
a family member or the funeral to be eligible to take bereavement leave. For example, if an
employee is regularly scheduled to work thirty-seven and one-half (37.5) hours per week, he/she
will be granted up to thirty-seven and one-half (37.5) hours of bereavement leave per year. If an
employee is regularly scheduled to work forty (40) hours per week, he/she will be granted up to
forty (40) hours of bereavement leave per year. Part-time employees are eligible to receive up to
twenty (20) hours of bereavement leave per calendar year. The employee’s supervisor and payroll
must be notified immediately of the forthcoming absence. Employees should submit
documentation for the absences related to the death of an immediate family member. Mission
reserves the right to request verification of death or applicable services.
For definition of an immediate family member, please refer to Policy 102 (Classifications section)
in this Employee Handbook.
VOTING
All employees are encouraged to fulfill their civic responsibilities by voting. Since most states
have extended absentee voting and/or the polls are generally open before and after normal working
hours, time off should not be necessary.
If polling hours do not permit time to vote either before or after working hours, adequate time off
will be authorized to exercise this right. Supervisors/managers should check with the People
Operations Department before allowing any time off for any employees under this provision.
