PTO
State law entitles all employees to five days of paid personal leave per year. Personal leave is available for use at the beginning of the year. A day of personal leave is equivalent to the number of hours per day in an employee’s usual assignment, whether full-time or part-time. State personal leave accumulates without limit, is transferable to other Texas school districts, and generally transfers to education service centers.
Personal leave may be used for two general purposes: non-discretionary and discretionary. Non-discretionary leave is taken for personal or family illness, family emergency, a death in the family, or active military service. Reasons for this type of leave allow very little, if any, advance planning. Non-discretionary may be used in the same manner as state sick leave. Discretionary leave is taken at an employee’s discretion that can be scheduled in advance. An employee wishing to take discretionary personal leave must submit a request to his or her principal or supervisor 3 days in advance of the anticipated absence. The effect of the employee’s absence on the educational program or department operations, as well as the availability of substitutes, will be considered by the principal or supervisor.
A local sick leave program consisting of five days per year is provided for every employee who is employed a minimum of 20 hours per week by the district. Local leave is available for use at the beginning of the school year. Each employee may use local leave for sick leave purposes only. Local sick leave days may be accumulated. Sick leave days may be used for the following: • Employee illness • Illness in the employee’s immediate family • Family emergency (i.e., natural disasters or life-threatening situations) • Death in the employee’s immediate family • Active Military Service
