	=== Exception Time Off ===		=== Exception Time Off ===
	If an employee has utilized all of their available paid time off and comp time off, they have the option to request additional leave, known as Exception Time Off. The approval of Exception Time Off is contingent upon a case-by-case basis, considering various factors such as the employee's tenure, their contributions to the company, the impact of their absence on the team and company, as well as the specific circumstances surrounding the leave request. To support their request for Exception Time Off, the employee is required to provide appropriate documentation. The final decision regarding Exception Time Off is determined by the employee's manager and the HR department. These additional leaves, which may include but are not limited to maternity leave, paternity leave, or family emergencies, can be either paid or unpaid depending on the outcome of the review conducted by the designated panel.

+=== Bottom Line ===
-!Holiday
+The bottom line here is that if you need or want an hour, couple hours, day, couple days, week, couple weeks off then take that time off. But, we've still got a business to run and clients need to be happy or else they won't pay our invoices. And, if they don't pay our invoices, then there is no money to pay you, your salary, your benefits, your health insurance, your tuition reimbursement, or your IT stipend. There is no Bank of Agileana, this is not a charity. Work when you need to work, take time off when you need to take time off. Keep clients happy and everything will work out.
