EXTENDED LEAVE OF ABSENCE DUE TO ILLNESS OR INJURY Sample Clauses

EXTENDED LEAVE OF ABSENCE DUE TO ILLNESS OR INJURY. ‌ Employees covered by this Agreement who are disabled from their present position due to illness, injury, pregnancy or child birth are eligible for an extended leave of absence. An extended leave of absence is defined as an absence due to illness or injury for a period from fifteen (15) consecutive working days up to twelve (12) months from the last day worked. A Leave of Absence may be granted, without loss of seniority, when employees submit medical verification of their illness or injury and of their inability to return to their current position due to their temporary disability.

If an employee returns to work from an extended Leave of Absence and subsequently becomes disabled again, the LACMTA will review the reasons for the request and the employee's record to determine whether or not to grant the request. If the LACMTA decides not to grant the request, the Teamsters will be notified. Employees returning to work after an extended illness must provide a release from their doctor permitting them to resume their duties. While the employee is on leave of absence, due to illness or injury, the LACMTA will continue to provide the LACMTA-paid portion of life insurance coverage and maintain the employees in the medical, dental and vision insurance programs. Employees will be billed for their normal payroll deductions for pension contributions, supplemental life, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, and, if applicable, dependents' medical coverage.
