Would like to have a copy of the policy regarding Leave without pay (LWOP) requests. Within this policy, or if a policy does not exist, would like the following information:
1. The Deadlines for which LWOP requests need to be submitted for Yukon Education Employees.
2. The process followed to determine if LWOP is granted or not.
3. The criteria used to determine if a LWOP request is granted or not.
4. Does one person have the authority to grant LWOP requests independently and if so, what is their job title?
5. Does a group of people or committee members have the authority to grant LWOP and if so who is the committee comprised of?
6. Are there extenuating circumstances to grant a LWOP if it is submitted after the deadline?
7. If a LWOP is denied is there provision for an employee to appeal the decision for reconsideration?
Timeframe: August 1, 2021 - August 22, 2023
