Civil Service Law allows employees to take up
to four (4) hours of paid leave annually for screening for
prostate cancer. Prostate cancer screening includes physical exams
and blood work for the detection of prostate cancer. Reasonable
travel time is included in the four-hour cap.
All employees are similarly entitled to take up to four (4)
hours of paid leave annually for breast cancer screening.
Breast cancer screening includes mammograms and physical exams for
the detection of breast cancer.
Employees who undergo screenings outside their regular work
schedules do so on their own time. Official medical documentation
verifying the screening may be required. These leaves are not cumulative and expire on the last day of
the calendar year. Please direct questions about these paid leaves
to the Payroll Office at ext. 4124, or to Emmanuel J.
Hillery, associate director, human resource management, at ext. 4822.
