Employee Leave

The CEC Governing Board (the Board) vests its authority in the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to ensure that all appropriate Human Resources policies and procedures are created and implemented in support of the Board’s mission. The CEO shall direct the Chief Human Resources Officer to:

• Develop CEC’s official Paid Time Off (PTO) policies and procedures for full-time and part-time staff.
  • A full-time employee is defined as someone who works 100% of their employee agreement, typically 40 hours a week and at least 180 days in a school calendar.
  • Part-time employee: A part-time employee works fewer than 8 hours a day and/or fewer than 180 days a school calendar year.
• Create and implement policies and procedures regarding employee leave, including Judicial Leave, Staff Military Leave, Professional Leave, Bereavement Leave, federally mandated Family and Medical Leave (FMLA), and Parental Leave.
• Ensure that all CEC employees are aware of the appropriate use of PTO and various “Leaves” and how to request such time off.
• Require employees to sign an acknowledgment that they have read and understand CEC’s PTO and Leave policies.

CEC will follow all state and federal laws related to mandated leave.
