Disability Leave Due to Pregnancy. A female employee may request a disability leave due to pregnancy by informing Human Resources and her immediate supervisor in writing and accompanied by a physician’s certificate of pregnancy. The leave will commence when deemed medically necessary by the employee and her physician and the employee will return when medically qualified as determined by the employee’s physician. The employee will submit a physician’s statement indicating release from disability. An employee will not be required to submit proof of disability for pregnancy and the birth of the child for a period of two (2) weeks prior and four (4) weeks after the birth. Proof of physical disability may be required where the disability extends beyond the limits as set forth in this paragraph. Sick leave benefits will be paid for the period of time the disability occurs, but only up to the individual’s accumulated sick leave.
