• Refusal of Leave or Failure to Return After Leave:  Failure to report for duty after a leave of absence request has been disapproved, revoked, or canceled by the appointing authority, or at the expiration of a leave, shall be considered an absence without leave.
  • Absence Without Leave: Absence from duty without leave for any length of time without an explanation satisfactory to the appointing authority is cause for dismissal.  Absence without leave for four (4) or more consecutive days without an explana­tion satisfactory to the appointing authority shall be deemed a tender of resignation.  If within thirty (30) days after the first day of absence without leave a person who has been absent makes an explanation satisfactory to the Board of Supervisors, the Board may reinstate such person.
