Long Term Leave Any employee who declines a reappointment as a Teaching Assistant in order to interrupt his/her program of graduate study for a period not to exceed one (1) year will not jeopardize his/her consideration for reappointment under Article l3.03.
Long Term Leaves Long-term leaves are expected to be one year or less in duration to the extent feasible. At the end of the leave the employee will be returned to his/her former position or a position of similar nature. It is the responsibility of the employee to apply for long-term leave by letter to the Executive Director, Human Resources, and if the leave is granted, to advise the Executive Director, Human Resources of his/her return date at the earliest possible time; in no case shall the return date notice be provided later than April 1 for a return at the beginning of the next contract year. In addition to items 1-6 below employees will also enjoy those Family and Medical Leave rights required by state and federal law. Health insurance and other insurance benefits provided through the District may remain in force throughout the leave period, at the employee's discretion, by the employee submitting to the District the monthly premium in advance of each payment due date, provided that such continuation of benefits is allowed by the insurance carrier.
Long Term Care The City may offer an option for employees to purchase a new long-term care benefit for themselves and certain family members.
Long Term Leave of Absence The District may grant any employee an unpaid long-term leave of absence for up to one (1) year for study, child rearing, travel, medical, or other mutually agreed to reason(s). Upon Board approval leave may be extended an additional year. Employees granted such a leave shall be permitted to stay on the District insurance programs at their own expense (carriers permitting), shall not gain or lose seniority or other benefits, but shall not be granted advancement credit on the salary schedule for the period of the leave. Upon return from such leave, the employee shall be entitled to the same position or a position substantially equivalent to the position held prior to the leave.
