Extended Parental Leave. An employee may request an extended parental leave of up to two (2) years. Such leave shall be granted by the Employer and shall be considered to include any pregnancy/parental leave granted. The employee agrees to provide at least four (4) weeks written notice of the day on which the leave is to begin. Where an employee is on extended parental leave and elects to continue benefits coverage, all benefits, except Long Term Disability, held by an employee at the commencement of a leave without pay may be continued during such leave by the employee with the employee paying one hundred percent (100%) of the premium costs by pre-authorized debit. Subject to the Layoff and Recall provisions of this Collective Agreement, an employee returning from leave shall return to their previous position/location if it exists, or a comparable position.
