Professional Leave
For more information about Professional Leave, contact your supervisor.
Professional Leave may be granted at the discretion of the District, upon request, for professional development, professional organizational activities, school-related professional activities, or other activities related to the employee's assignments. This leave is granted with pay if the employees are representatives of APS at the above-mentioned activities.
Extended Leaves Policy
All leaves of ten (10) consecutive work days or less must be requested through and approved by the employee’s principal or supervisor. Extended leave of more than ten (10) consecutive days, with or without pay, must be requested through the Human Resources Leaves Office. Employees must complete the required Leave Forms and receive the necessary approval before the leave requested may be taken.
When an employee becomes ill or is injured on the job, sick leave begins at the time of inability to continue work, to the nearest half-hour. An employee, who is already on annual leave, personal leave or leave without pay, including parental leave, may not be eligible to use sick leave benefits.
While on an approved leave, an employee may not volunteer or perform any duties for the APS District or utilize APS property for personal use.
