Eligibility: The child must be 4 years of age by August 31st of their Pre-Kindergarten year. Children selected for participation should qualify as evidenced by multiple criteria (developmental screening, parent observation and teacher observation). Schools of choice and employee requests are non-applicable.
Lack of funding alone is not a basis to deny funded emergency leave travel. Emergency leave may be requested with or without American Red Cross verification. Soldiers may be authorized emergency leave for up to 30 days for emergency situations within the immediate family.
Eligible employees must have worked for their employer for at least 12 months prior to requesting the leave. And they must also have worked at least 1,250 hours in those 12 months. For someone who works an eight-hour day, that translates to approximately 156 days. Your company must also be eligible to let you use the privilege, which means it must have at least 50 employees who work within 75 miles of its location.
