Absence for Maternity. Absence for Maternity: The parties hereto intend to comply fully with the provisions of the Pregnancy Discrimination Amendments of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended. An employee who is pregnant may use accrued sick leave prior to and following the birth of the child, subject to medical documentation indicating the physician’s determination that the employee refrain from employment due to a disability resulting from her pregnancy, childbirth, and/or complications thereof. An employee absent due to these reasons must return to work as soon as she is physically able. The Board reserves the right to request medical documentation of her disability and of her physical ability to return to work. An employee who selects this option and whose earned sick leave expires prior to the birth of the child or the time she is able to return to work may request an unpaid leave of absence for a period not to exceed six (6) months from the effective date of the leave (last duty day worked). Should it become necessary to extend the leave beyond six (6) months, the employee’s position will no longer be held and reinstatement in an appropriate position will be made as soon as a vacancy occurs.
