Assignment Upon Return. The Board cannot guarantee the return of the unit member to the assignment held prior to the leave; however, every effort will be made to return the unit member to a comparable position, acceptable to the unit member. In cases of a RIF (Reduction in Force) when a leave of absence by a unit member not affected by the RIF would reduce the number of layoffs, that unit member shall, upon request, be awarded his/her former position in the following year as a condition for requesting a leave of absence. Upon return, said position shall not be exempt from the procedures of the RIF policy.
