IV. Request Procedures
Employees are required to request leave in advance whenever possible, except in cases of emergency or unforeseen circumstances. Requests for leave should be submitted to the employee's supervisor or HR department using the designated leave request form or procedure. Supervisors will review leave requests and approve or deny them based on staffing needs, operational requirements, and other relevant factors.

VI. Coordination with Other Policies
Our leave policy is intended to complement and align with other relevant policies, such as our attendance policy, FMLA policy, and applicable state and federal laws. In cases where leave entitlements overlap or conflict with other policies, the most favorable provisions to the employee will apply, as required by law.
VII. Return to Work
Employees are expected to return to work promptly at the end of their approved leave period. Prior to returning to work, employees may be required to provide any necessary documentation or clearance, such as a doctor's note clearing them to return to work after a medical leave.
Modification and Review
We reserve the right to modify, amend, or terminate our leave policy at any time, at our discretion. Any changes to the leave policy will be communicated to employees in a timely manner.
Conclusion
Our Salon Leave Policy is designed to provide clarity and consistency in the administration of leave benefits for our employees. We believe that by offering competitive leave benefits and maintaining clear procedures, we can support the well-being of our employees while ensuring the continued success of our salon.
