Extended Sick Leave Without Pay. At the termination of his accumulated sick leave, an employee who cannot perform scheduled duties because of extended illness or injury shall, upon written request, be placed on an extended sick leave of absence without pay up to the end of the current school year in which the request is made. The employee must give three (3) weeks’ notice to the District, in writing, prior to returning. An employee may return to work earlier than three (3) weeks if mutually acceptable between the employee and the District. A second extended sick leave of absence without pay shall, upon written request, be granted up to the end of the current school year in which the request is made. Upon granting the request, an employee may return to work before the end of the year if mutually acceptable between the employee and the District. If not mutually acceptable, and if the employee desires to return to work prior to the end of the school year, the District will make every reasonable effort to employ that employee as a substitute with substitute benefits. A third extended sick leave request in any three (3) year period shall be at the District's discretion. An employee on extended leave as a result of a state recognized on-the-job injury, shall be allowed to extend such leave to cover a total leave of at least three (3) years. An employee on any extended sick leave will hold his/her place on the salary schedule, and will be eligible for the scheduled increment the following year provided he/she has completed one- half (1/2) or more of the contractual year in which he/she was placed on extended sick leave of absence.
