Involuntary Leave. An employee may be placed on an involuntary leave for just cause. For purposes of determining an involuntary leave, the Board, upon notice to the Union, may make a written request requiring the employee to provide the results of a physical/mental examination from his/her doctor to determine the employee's ability to perform the essential functions of his/her job with or without accommodation. The Board shall pay for this examination. If the Board is not satisfied with this report or if the employee does not provide this report, the Board, upon notice to the Union, may require the employee to submit to an examination by a doctor of the Board's choice. The Board shall pay for this examination. Either party may request a third examination performed by a physician of mutual consent. This examination shall be paid for by the Board. Both parties will be informed of the examination results. An employee placed on involuntary leave as provided under this article shall be paid his/her regular standard hours and pay rate (excluding any overtime or extra work/extra pay compensation). Furthermore, the employee's fringe benefits shall continue without interruption, and his/her sick or personal business banks will not be charged during the period of the medical examinations.
