Compensation and benefits during leave. The Board may grant compensation for sabbatical leave based upon any one of the following formulas:
Compensation and benefits during leave. Employees on FMLA Leave shall be required to apply any accrued Earned Time toward such leave. Once paid time is used up, FMLA leave is unpaid. Employees who are collecting workers compensation benefits during periods of FMLA Leave are not entitled to use Earned Time or any other paid time. An employee on FMLA Leave will be retained on the Company’s health plan on the same condition as active employees. Once an employee has used all accrued Earned Time, and is in an unpaid leave status on an approved family or medical leave, the employee is responsible for submitting payment by the 10th of each month to cover the employee portion of health and dental premiums. If any premium payment is more than thirty (30) days late, coverage will be lost during the period of the leave. In circumstances where an employee is on paid leave, the appropriate deductions will be made in the same manner as the employee’s regular paycheck.

During periods of leave, employees are required to report to the Company periodically regarding their status and intention to return to work. Return from Leave. An employee returning from FMLA leave will be reinstated to the same or an equivalent position upon his or her proposed return to work date, except that the employee will not be entitled to any employment rights or benefits greater than those he or she would have had in the absence of taking such a leave. In dealing with leaves involving a serious health condition of an employee, medical certification will be required verifying an employee’s ability to return to work. Reduced Work Schedule-Intermittent Leave. In limited circumstances, an employee who is eligible for family or medical leave may be permitted to work a reduced schedule or receive periodic time off from work. In cases of a serious health condition of the employee or a family member, such leave may be permitted in circumstances when it is medically nec...
