FMLA Policy. Employees are eligible for up to 12 weeks Family Medical Leave subject to the Tuscarawas County Family Medical Leave Policy. DISABILITY LEAVE/DISABILITY SEPARATION Section 36.1. Disability Leave, Separation, or Disability Retirement. If an employee becomes unable to perform the essential functions of his position due to a disabling illness, injury, or condition, he may be granted an unpaid disability leave for up to six (6) months upon presentation of appropriate medical evidence. If the employee is unable to return to active work status within the period of the leave of absence the employee will be given a disability separation. The disability leave will end on the date on which the physician releases the employee as medically able to return to work, or at the expiration of the six (6) month period. In the event an employee is determined unable to perform the essential functions of their position the employee may be disability separated. At the time of disability separation, the employee will, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, be paid their accumulated, unused balances of vacation leave and compensatory time. An involuntary disability separation may be appealed to step 2 of the grievance procedure.
