a. The employee shall, insofar as possible, notify the District 14 days before the leave is anticipated to begin.
b. When the leave is commenced, the employee will be placed on disability leave in a non-pay status. Use of sick leave, compensatory time, and/or vacation time and holidays may be requested, so long as these leave banks have been accrued, and their use is approved by the General Manager. Sick leave, vacation and holiday credits will cease to accrue once the leave of absence is commenced.
c. During a disability leave of absence, the District will maintain the employee's medical, dental, vision, life and long-term disability insurance at the District's expense, subject to the restrictions of the policies. The employee will be placed on a leave of absence status with PERS.
d. Actual duration and scheduling of the disability leave shall be based upon the doctor's certification of disability. The District reserves the right to have a physician of the District's selection verify the disability. It is possible that non-disability and disability leaves of absence could be utilized sequentially. For a leave of absence requested by the employee, the employee's position will be held open for that employee during the leave of absence, or if that is not possible, a different but similar position will be made available when the employee returns to work. Once the approved leave period has lapsed, the employee must return to work or be terminated. Any employee who fails to report for duty as scheduled after a leave of absence shall be considered to have abandoned and constructively resigned his/her position unless the General Manager has granted an extension. Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, the Board of Directors may, by resolution, make provisions for other leaves of absence without pay.
