Approved Leave of Absence With Pay During Vacation When an employee is qualified for bereavement leave, sick leave or any other approved leave with pay during her vacation period, there shall be no deduction from the vacation credits for such leave. In the case of sick leave, this section shall only apply when the period of illness or injury is in excess of two (2) days and a note from a physician may be required. The period of vacation so displaced shall be taken at a mutually agreed time. An employee intending to claim displaced vacation leave must advise the Employer and provide necessary documentation within seven (7) days of returning to work.
Return from Leave of Absence (a) Before a Nurse may return to work from a leave granted under Article 9.00, she or he must provide a minimum of four (4) weeks written notice of the specific date of his or her return to work, or such shorter time as mutually agreed. (b) Upon return from an approved Unpaid Leave of Absence, a Nurse shall be reinstated to her or his former position unless the position has been discontinued, in which case the Nurse shall be appointed to an equivalent position. (c) This clause requiring four (4) weeks written notice, does not apply to other leaves granted by an express provision of this Collective Agreement with different requirements for written notice.
Approved Leave of Absence During Vacation Where it can be established by the employee through a doctor's certificate that an illness or accident occurred, or where an employee qualifies for bereavement or any other approved leave during his/her period of vacation, there shall be no deduction from vacation credits for such absence. The period of vacation so displaced shall either be added to the vacation or reinstated for use at a later date, at the employee's option, as mutually agreed.
REAPPOINTMENT AFTER ABSENCE DUE TO CHILDCARE 16.1 Where an employee resigns from a permanent position with the employer to care for pre-school children, the employer is committed, upon application from the employee, to make every reasonable endeavour to re-employ that person where a comparable and suitable position exists within four years of the resignation, providing that the person has the necessary skills to fill the vacancy competently; then the person under these provisions shall be appointed in preference to any other applicant for the position. 16.2 Absence for childcare reasons will interrupt service but not break it. The period of absence will not count as service for the purpose of sick leave, annual leave, retiring leave or gratuities, long service leave or any other leave entitlements.
Recall from Vacation Leave When during any period of vacation leave an employee is recalled to duty, he shall be reimbursed for reasonable expenses, as normally defined by the Employer, that he incurs:
Leave of Absence for Union Business 5.7.1 Employees elected or selected to full time positions in the Local Union or the International, which takes them from their employment with the Company, shall, upon written request from the Union to the Company, receive leaves of absence for periods of twelve (12) months, the sum total of which shall not exceed fifteen (15) years. 5.7.2 The written request shall be furnished to the Company at least thirty (30) calendar days in advance of the original request for leave. At least fifteen (15) calendar days’ notice shall be furnished to the Company in writing in advance of each subsequent twelve (12) months’ leave. 5.7.3 Not more than six (6) such employees shall be granted a leave of absence for Union Business at a time, and not more than one (1) from each Division or one (1) from the General Office shall be granted a leave at any one time during any portion of the same period. 5.7.4 Upon return on or before the expiration date from a leave of absence for Union activities, an employee shall be reengaged in his/her former job classification. If no vacancies exist in his/her former job classification, he/she shall be reengaged in a job of comparable compensation within the division. The employee's position on the wage schedule at the time the leave is granted will be the same position assumed upon his/her return. Such employees who return to the bargaining unit from a Leave of Absence for Union Business will be eligible to bridge their seniority in accordance with Article 9, Section 9.3.1, of the Agreement. 5.7.5 An employee’s accumulated years of service for pension shall be preserved while on leave of absence. All pension rights as outlined in “Plan for Hourly Paid Employees’ Pension” will be applicable. Upon reinstatement the employee’s continuous service date shall be his/her original service date as established prior to the leave, except that credit toward service shall not accrue beyond fifteen (15) years of leave. 5.7.6 Contributory Group Life Insurance will be available at group rates. The amount of such insurance will be determined by the employee’s basic wage in effect on the January 1st preceding the leave. The Company will xxxx the employee direct for the appropriate premium. Non-contributory Insurance, in the amount provided prior to the leave, will continue in effect only if the employee subscribes to the contributory portion of the Program. 5.7.7 When permitted by the carrier of the approved basic hospital- medical plan and when approved by the Company, the employee may arrange for direct billing of the premium for the approved basic hospital-medical plan at the group rates. 5.7.8 An employee granted a leave for Union activities will be ineligible for wages or other benefits from the Company during the period of the leave. 5.7.9 No physical or other examination shall be required as a requisite of reinstatement except when an obvious physical or mental condition exists which requires medical advice regarding job placement or fitness for work. 5.7.10 An employee who does not return to work as specified in his/her request for leave of absence shall be considered to have automatically terminated his/her employment effective on the date when the leave of absence started.
