Common use of BENEFITS DURING PERSONAL LEAVE Clause in Contracts

BENEFITS DURING PERSONAL LEAVE. Approved paid leave results in benefits continuation including continued accrual of sick and vacation. Approved unpaid leave allows employees to retain insurance benefits. However, employees on unpaid leave will not continue to accrue vacation or sick leave. During the period of FMLA leave, an employee may retain health, dental, vision and life benefits under the same conditions that applied before the leave began. If an employee’s share of insurance premiums cannot be deducted from his/her pay, the employee will be required to pay his/her share of insurance premiums each month while on leave. Failure to pay the employee share of the insurance premiums may result in loss of coverage; any remaining premium balance due upon employees return to work will be deducted from the employees pay.
