Benefits While on General/Extended Leave. An Association member is eligible to continue to participate in group insurance programs (health insurance, dental insurance, life insurance, supplemental life insurance) as permitted under the insurance policy provisions provided the Association member pay the entire premium for such group insurance programs commencing with the beginning of the leave (see District Website, Human Resources for specific coverage available). It is the responsibility of the Association member to pay the monthly premium amounts in advance and on such dates as determined by the District/Third Party Administrator. The right to continue participation in such group insurance programs will discontinue upon termination of employment, failure of the teacher to pay the premiums to the District/Third party administrator, or the expiration of insurance availability under the insurance policy provisions. Since long-term disability insurance coverage replaces salary, and there is no salary for an Unpaid/General Leave, long term disability insurance coverage is not available. An Association member on general/extended leave shall retain such amounts of sick leave days and other accrued benefits which he/she had accrued, if any, at the time he/she went on general/extended leave for use upon his/her return. No additional sick leave, vacation leave, or PTO shall accrue for the period of time that an Association member is on general/extended leave.
