Absences from Work Related to Policy Enforcement. The time an employee is absent from work while awaiting SAP evaluation; enrollment in rehabilitation treatment; completing treatment; and obtaining verification of ability to return to work, as well as the time an employee spends waiting to be returned to work is not considered disciplinary in nature. Consequently, employees who are absent from work for these reasons are eligible to use paid time off (vacation, sick, compensatory time and personal holiday pay) during such absences. Once an employee’s paid time off benefits have been exhausted, an employee’s time off for these purposes will be unpaid.
