Leave of Absence and Free Transportation. 14.1 An employee shall be granted leave of absence of 30 days or less upon verbal request to his Supervisor when requirements of the service will permit. Authority for leave of absence in excess of 30 days in any calendar year will only be granted with the written consent of the supervising officer and the Local Representative, and such leave will not exceed 3 months but may be extended in the same manner. This paragraph does not apply to absence account sickness or physical disability or to employees elected as salaried representatives of the employees. 14.2 An employee who secures leave of absence and accepts other employment without the approval of the proper officer of the Railway and the Local Representative will lose his seniority rights. 14.3 Employees on authorized leave of absence shall retain and continue to accumulate seniority, but those who fail to return to service on or before the expiration of such leave of absence will lose their seniority rights, except that when failure to report on time is the result of an unavoidable delay, which is satisfactorily explained, then the leave will be extended to include such delay. 14.4 Employees accepting positions in the exercise of their seniority rights will do so without causing extra expense to the Railway and will not be allowed time for traveling. They will be provided with free transportation for their household effects. The Company will determine the method of transportation provided and this will not necessarily provide for door-to-door transportation. 14.5 Employees transferred by direction of the Company to positions which necessitate a change of residence will receive free rail transportation for their household effects. 14.6 Opportunity and free transportation will be given to employees for getting to their place of residence on weekends when such leave will not interfere with the progression of the work.
