Common use of Leave for Personal Illness Clause in Contracts

Leave for Personal Illness. The decision to grant a leave for personal illness for any length of time shall only be made by the Board.

The beginning date of a leave for personal illness is the first working day the bargaining unit member is absent for illness, after all sick and medical leave days are exhausted. When granted a personal illness leave, the Board will maintain the health insurance coverage for said bargaining unit member through the month following the date of the beginning of such leave and/or according to provisions set forth in the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993. Coverage beyond the Board’s contribution will be an option of the bargaining unit member by remitting the premium on a monthly basis; however, the last day of coverage will not be extended beyond the last day the bargaining unit member is considered employed by the Board, unless the bargaining unit member is eligible for coverage as a retiree. Leave for personal illness will be terminated on the last day of each bargaining unit member’s contract year. Such termination shall not affect the accumulated total of medical leave. A bargaining unit member will remain an employee of the District and may remain a member of the Association by submitting dues directly to the Association while on this leave.
