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. This verification must be in the form of an Attending Physician's Statement and must include an approximate return-to-work date. Employees who are off work and are not expected to return to work for an extended period (30 calendar days or more) of time shall be placed on Indefinite Leave. While on an extended Leave of Absence, the employee must submit an Attending Physician's Statement within thirty (30) days of the last Attending Physician's Statement on file and on a monthly basis thereafter to substantiate the employee's inability to perform his/her regular duties and provide an expected return to work date. Failure to submit an updated Attending Physician's Statement in a timely manner each month may subject the employee to disciplinary action. 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. These benefits will terminate at the expiration of the leave of absence. Employees may continue their benefits by converting to an individual plan, if their policy has provision for conversion. Employee contributions to the pension plan will be deferred until th...
