Leave of Absence (Union Office). The Employer recognizes that when an employee is elected or appointed to a full-time Union office, the Employer shall grant leave of absence without pay for up to two (2) years, and upon returning to the Employer at the end of such leave, will be given credit for the service and seniority accumulated during the leave. It is understood that service related benefits such as vacation, sick leave, etc. shall not accrue to the employee during that leave. Subject to the Insurance Carriers approval, the employee may choose to continue to participate in the Agency’s benefit plans provided they pay the full cost of such benefit premiums.
Leave of Absence (Union Office). The Company agrees to grant a leave of absence for a period of not more than twelve (12) months, or the balance of the duration of this Collective Agreement, whichever is the longer, to one employee who has been elected or appointed to fulltime office of Local 300, the British Columbia Federation of Labour, or the Canadian Labour Congress. The leave will be without pay and without entitlement to any benefits. A request for such leave shall be inn writing with as much notice as possible. An employee who has been granted such leave of absence for the British Columbia Federation of Labour or Canadian Labour Congress shall not accrue service entitlements towards vacation, pension, guaranteed wage plan or any other benefits. However, seniority shall continue to accrue while on such leave solely for the purpose of recall, layoff and applying for job postings upon return to the workforce. An employee who has been granted leave to hold full time office in Local 300 will be continued as active members of the pension and welfare plans upon payment of the total contributions, whether from the Union or the employee concerned. During such periods of absence the employee's seniority shall continue to accumulate as if he were employed at his regular post by the Company.
