Layoff for Medical Reasons. When employees, because of temporary illness or disability, cannot perform the duties of their job, the department may, upon appropriate medical verification, layoff those employees until they are again capable of resuming the duties. The department may require a satisfactory medical report from the District’s health services provider before re-employment. Generally, if the period of time an employee is expected to be off the job is less than six months, a leave without pay may be a more appropriate action.
