CPMU Leave of Absence (LOA) Policy

• Active CPMU members may take a leave of absence from CPMU if they are unable to fulfill the membership commitments.

• Available to Active members only

• Members much have a specific circumstance (i.e. school or military commitment) that prevents them from volunteering.

  • (Simply not having enough time to volunteer is not a valid reason for a LOA)

• CPMU members must have a valid EMT certification in order to qualify for a LOA.

• CPMU members on leave are not permitted to volunteer during their leave unless permitted by the President, VPO or VPA.

• When a CPMU member returns from a leave, the member is expected to fulfill all membership commitment requirements. Probationary members are expected to return and resume the commitment requirements and the training to ultimately obtain a promotion to "Active" status.

• CPMU LOA is not indefinite. CPMU LOA will be granted for a term of one year, at which time a member may re-apply for an extension of the LOA. Members must still have a valid EMT certification at the time of a LOA extension to qualify. 

How to Request a Leave of Absence

• LOA requests must be emailed to admin@cpmu.com with a justification for your leave

• Email admin@cpmu.com when you want to end the LOA and resume volunteering

• If at any time you are unable to continue your leave and will not be able to return to CPMU, email admin@cpmu.com with your resignation from the Unit
