1. Absence not to exceed three work days in the case of death in the immediate family. Family shall be defined as spouse or child, and both natural and in-law parent, grandparent, grandchild, brother or sister.
2. Absences required for jury duty shall be excused with pay provided the employee deposits the money received for jury duty with the town.

4. Leave of absence from the job for purposes of direct job-related training may, with the approval of the town manager, be approved as an authorized absence with pay.
