This is a reminder that full-time employees are entitled to take up to four hours of leave time annually for breast cancer/prostate cancer screening scheduled during the employee’s regular work hours.
Breast cancer/prostate cancer screening includes physical exams and mammograms for the detection of breast cancer/prostate cancer. Breast cancer screening is available to both male and female employees.
Leave must be charged to “Cancer Screening” – leave code #320. Travel time is included in the four-hour leave cap time. Absence beyond four hours must be charged to another leave category. Employees who undergo screening outside their normal work schedule or on a holiday do so on their own time and are not granted compensatory time off.
Satisfactory medical documentation must be submitted to the employee’s supervisor.
Questions concerning this may be directed to the Human Resource Office.
