It depends on what kind of "emergency leave" you are referring to. In the US there is a certain type of MEDICAL leave known as the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) which requires employers to grant medical time off dependent upon the requestor's family medical circumstance. In other cases, time off (other than medical) can be granted under so-called "emergency" conditions (i.e.: the sudden occurrence of an unforseen event) but this leave would be counted against that employees regular annual leave amount.

Employees with 1 yrs service must be allowed time off for serious medical events - their own or close family - even if the employer has no sick leave plan, or even if the employee has zero sick leave left. It means more employee absence days than if FMLA did not exist. That means lower productivity.
