benefits - personal days vince : is the following all right to send to the group ? * * * * * * * * good morning all : the question has arisen as to whether enron has " personal days " , that , you can take in case of repair problems at home ; car problems ; sick spouse , sick child , etc . i checked with hr and the policy manual and the answer is " no " , but they can be designated at the discretion of the supervisor . i talked this over with vince and he has decided that the research group will be allowed two ( 2 ) personal days per year to take care of personal business and not have to take a vacation day , discretionary day , or leave of absence . if you have advance notice ( such as an air conditioner repair scheduled ) , please let me know when you are going to take these days . if an emergency arises with no notice , please call in and let me know that you are taking a personal day . it will be coded on your time sheet . these two personal days will in no way cancel or take the place of , " funeral leave " , " family leave " , or " civic duty leave " . they are just a way of being able to take care of repair problems and other personal problems that arise . these should be very beneficial and i am sure very much appreciated by all of us . if you have any questions , please call me . shirley 3 - 5290
