The College provides unpaid time off from workdays for employees who serve as volunteer firefighters or providers of emergency medical services to respond to an emergency or for required training. To be eligible, employees must provide written notification to the College no later than 30 days after being certified as a volunteer firefighter or volunteer emergency services provider. Employees must make reasonable efforts to notify their direct supervisor (or, in the absence of a direct supervisor, Human Resources) as soon as possible when they know they will be late to work or absent from work due to being dispatched to an emergency. Additionally, following time off from work under this policy, employees must provide appropriate written documentation that confirms the date(s) and time(s) of their time off from work from the chief of the volunteer fire department or the medical director or chief administrator of the cooperating physician advisory board of the emergency medical service organization.
