Medical Layoff. When a unit employee with five (5) or more years of continuous service is denied a medical leave of absence or an extension, at the unit employee’s request, a medical layoff shall be entered into the unit employee’s employment history rather than a separation for denial of medical leave. The appointing authority shall notify the unit employee in writing of his/her departmental recall rights in accordance with Article 12, Section L(1) and (2) upon providing medical certification within two (2) years from the date of denial of the medical leave of absence or its extension, that the unit employee is able to return to his/her regular job responsibilities. If the unit employee is unable to return to work at the end of the two (2) year period, the unit employee will resign or request a waived rights leave of absence. This option may only be exercised once in a career. Unit employees recalled under this provision shall not have such time treated as a break in service.
