PERSONAL ILLNESS LEAVE OF ABSENCE POLICY FOR EXEMPT SALARIED EMPLOYEES

Larry

I AM IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING A WRITTEN POLICY REGARDING TAKING LEAVES OF ABSENCE FOR PERSONAL ILLNESS FOR EXEMPT SALARIED EMPLOYEES. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT IF ANYONE WHO ALREADY HAS SUCH A POLICY IN PLACE WOULD BE WILLING TO SHARE IT WITH ME. I AM TALKING ABOUT LEAVES OF ABSENCE FOR SHORT PERIODS OF TIME LIKE A FEW DAYS UP TO LONG PERIODS OF TIME.
