Maternity Disability. If the pregnant unit member is required by her physician to be absent from duties because of pregnancy, miscarriage, childbirth and related medical conditions, she may use accumulated days of sick leave during such maternity disability absence (illness). The unit member is expected to resume her duties as soon after the term of pregnancy as her physician certifies that she is capable of returning to work. If, at the time her physician states that she is capable of returning to work, the unit member wishes to continue her paid status, she may elect to use her earned vacation. Or, at that time if she wishes to continue her leave, she may request a child care leave without pay. Unit members are requested to provide the District with as much advance notice as possible regarding maternity absence.
