Tenure status, rank, earned benefits, years of service, history of assignments and record of evaluations that an employee had at the University prior to the creation of the Florida International University Board of Trustees shall be recognized, credited or used, as applicable, unless a specific term or provision agreed to by the Board and the UFF states otherwise. No employee may be required to waive the benefits provided by terms agreed to by the Board and the UFF. No employee shall, as a result of the establishment of a level of rights or benefits by an agreement of the Board and the UFF, suffer a loss or diminution of any such rights or benefits for which otherwise eligible.
Maintenance of Benefits. The Board will maintain group health plan coverage for employees on family and medical leave for the duration of the eligible employee's leave. Coverage will be provided on the same level and under the same conditions that coverage would have been provided if no leave had been taken. In the event an employee fails to return to work after the period of leave expires, the Board may recover any such premiums the Board paid for coverage during the leave period. Such recovery can be taken from any benefits or wages owed by the Board to the employee. In the event, however, that the employee fails to return to work because of the continuation, recurrence, or onset of a serious health condition of a family member or the employee's own serious health condition that would otherwise entitle the employee to take leave, or due to other circumstances beyond the control of the employee, the Board will not attempt to recover such premium. In this circumstance, the employee is required to provide in writing to the Human Resources Department, a certification from the employee's health care provider to that effect.
