Leave Administration. (a) Any leave rights or benefits under this Article shall not be available to probationary Employees, as defined in Article 11 of this Agreement. In extenuating circumstances (e.g. bereavement, jury duty, serious personal illness) the Employer may grant probationary Employee unpaid leave time.
(b) Time absent on unpaid leave shall not be regarded as time worked for any purpose under this Agreement, with the exception of seniority rights to the extent provided in Article 11 and as is referenced in subparagraph (d), below.
(c) Upon the termination of an unpaid leave of twelve (12) weeks or less under this Article the Employee shall be returned to the job (if still in existence) held prior to the commencement of leave. All Employees returning to work after twelve (12) weeks shall first displace any substitute who is on a regular schedule of runs. If there are no substitutes to displace, the Employee returning from leave shall serve as a utility driver until the next open route becomes available, to which they shall be assigned.
(d) Employees on unpaid leave shall retain and/or accrue seniority during those intervals in accordance with the provisions of Article 11 of this Agreement. Employees shall not accrue sick leave or personal leave entitlement while on unpaid leaves of absence. In regards to step increases, the employee must complete at least 50% of their scheduled work requirement to be eligible to advance to the next step the following year.
(e) To the extent required by the Family and Medical Leave Act, an eligible Employee shall be granted leave and the other rights specified by that law. All such leaves shall run concurrently with paid or unpaid leaves taken for the same purposes under this Agreement. When leave is taken by an Employee under the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Employer shall likewise enjoy all rights afforded it by that law, whether or not the same are specifically enumerated in this Agreement. The parties intend that the provisions of the Family and Medical Leave Act, including Employer and eligible Employee rights and responsibilities, shall prevail over the terms of this Agreement to the extent of any conflict or inconsistency. This provision does not confer upon Employees or the Employer greater or fewer rights or benefits than those for which they are otherwise eligible under the Family and Medical Leave Act.
