Authorized use of the additional three days of leave for bereavement purposes in PCC 3.76.030 for out-of-state travel may be taken from the employee's accrued sick leave balance, accrued vacation leave balance, accrued compensatory time, accrued furlough time, or accrued personal holiday at the employee's option.

Employees who have not completed the initial 13 accruable pay cycles are not eligible to use vacation leave. The additional three days may be approved as leave without pay if all other available accruals except sick leave have been exhausted.

Employees may be allowed additional time off with appropriate approvals for the use of accrued vacation leave balance, accrued compensatory time, accrued furlough time, or accrued personal holiday. Additional employee use of sick leave may be allowed under the provisions of Chapter 3.68 PCC, Sick Leave.
