An employee may request up to five days of unpaid
personal leave per calendar year. This leave is subject to approval
by the Operations and Maintenance Manager and/or the General Manager.
This leave must be scheduled at least one week in advance of taking
it and may be taken a day at a time or all at once. The employee's
orientation period must be completed prior to requesting this leave.
All employees are covered by the workers' compensation
laws of Pennsylvania while working on the job. The Authority pays
the annual premiums for this insurance. If an employee is injured
on the job, the medical bills are paid, and if the employee cannot
return to work immediately, he/she will receive compensation based
on the current schedule of benefits as provided for by the law. An
employee must immediately report all injuries to the supervisor.
