If the policy states employees will not be compensated for more than three consecutive work days of leave’, does that mean a leave that leave that continues over a weekend would only have three days paid?
If you take a vacation from Wednesday of one week until Friday of the following

When calculating "consecutive" work days, you only count work days--i.e. business days. You ignore non-work days (weekends, holidays). So in the example you give, you would only get 3 days of compensation or pay, since the intervening weekend will be ignored.
