Benefits Coverage During Leave. During a period of family or medical leave, an employee will be retained on the City’s health plan under the same conditions that applied before leave commenced. To continue health coverage, the employee must continue to make any contributions that he was making to the plan before taking leave. If the employee fails to return to work after the expiration of the leave, the employee may be required to reimburse the City for payment of all health insurance premiums made by the City during the family or medical leave as provided by the Family and Medical Leave Act. An employee is not entitled to the accrual of any seniority or any other employment benefits that would otherwise have accrued during the period of leave. An employee who takes family or medical leave will not lose any seniority or employment benefits that accrued before the date leave began.
