Common use of EXTENDED UNION LEAVE Clause in Contracts

EXTENDED UNION LEAVE. An employee elected to fulltime office for the Union or accepting an assignment to perform work for the Union shall be given an unpaid leave of absence for the duration of their term of office or duration of assignment with the Union. A leave of absence of up to one (1) year may be limited to one employee of each facility, at the sole discretion of the Employer. At any given point in time, the Employer has the right to limit the number of employees on Union Leave to no more than three (3) in each facility, and no more than one (1) from any department other than nursing. The Employer may take the needs of the business into account but shall not unreasonably deny a leave of absence to other employees as requested by the Union, for up to six months. The Union shall notify the Employer when officially requesting Union Leave for an employee. The employee and Union shall provide the Employer and the facility with a minimum of thirty (30) days’ notice of his/her requested Union Leave, including a start and probable end date. Time spent on Union Leave shall count as hours worked for wage progression for up to the first two years of leave only. During the course of the Union Leave the Employer will not be responsible for any Employer obligations, including work‐related illnesses or injuries incurred as a result of employment/assignment with the Union. While on leave, should the employee suffer work- related injuries that fully or partially restrict his/her capacity to return to full duty as an employee (of the Company), the Employer is not obligated to return the employee to active duty until such time as the employee is able to resume, with or without reasonable accommodations, all job responsibilities. In such circumstances, and for the purposes of Employee’s compensation, the Union is considered the “responsible employer.” The Employer shall return the employee to the same job, shift and position that he/she held at the time when he/she went on Union Leave with no loss to seniority and with any intervening increases in wages or benefits applicable as if he/she had been working. Employees must give the Employer at least ten (10) days written notice of their return to work. When posting the vacancy created by Union Leave, the Employer will notify applicants that the position may be temporary. It is understood by both parties that when a Employee returns from Union Leave, the least senior worker on that shift will be bumped or laid off. Should a more senior employee be bumped as a result of the worker returning from Union Leave, that employee may bump the least senior employee in the classification. Any layoff affecting the least senior employee in that classification shall be recalled in accordance to Section 12 of this Agreement. Employees returning to active status with the Employer after a Union Leave in excess of six months may be required to complete a full reorientation and any other licensing requirements that may be applicable, before reassignment or beginning work. Employees returning after an extended union leave of two years or less shall be guaranteed re- employment at the rate of pay they would have earned with no break in service.
