Medical Leave of Absence Where you have a medical leave of absence due to any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than six months, and you have not returned to employment with the Company or an Affiliate, a Separation from Service has occurred on the earlier of: (A) the first day on which you would not be considered “disabled” under any disability policy of the Company or Affiliate under which you are then receiving a benefit; or (B) the first day on which your medical leave of absence period exceeds 29 months.
Personal Leave of Absence The Administrator may grant a request for leave of absence for personal reasons without pay provided that he receives at least one (1) month's clear notice, in writing, unless impossible, and provided that such leave may be arranged without undue inconvenience to the normal operations of the Nursing Home. Employees when applying for such leave shall indicate the proposed date of departure and return. Such leave shall not be unreasonably withheld.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE 11.1 Any employee with 5 or more years’ service shall, on reasonable grounds and when requirements of the service permit, be granted up to three (3) months’ leave of absence and shall retain seniority. 11.2 Applications for leave of absence beyond 3 months will be referred to the Vice-President for negotiations with the Vice-President of the Union. 11.3 Employees are entitled to and shall be granted Personal Leave of no more than five days per calendar year to heal from an injury or illness, take care of health obligations for any member of their family or care for them, take care of obligations related to the education of any family member under age 18, manage any urgent situation that concerns them or a family member, attend their citizenship ceremony under the Citizenship Act, or manage any other situation prescribed by regulation. Leaves will be administered in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Canada Labour Code. If employees have completed three consecutive months of continuous employment with the employer, the employee is entitled to the first three (3) days of the leave with pay at their regular rate of wages for their normal hours of work, and such pay shall for all purposes be considered to be wages. Leave must be a minimum of a full-shift in duration, and will be paid at the employee’s regular wages and schedule. The Company may request that the employee provide documentation to support the reasons for the leave prior to granting the leave, or remitting any payment. 11.4 In the case of serious illness, or other unusual events in their families, employees will be granted reasonable leave of absence by making application to the Local Terminal Manager or other official in charge. 11.4.1 Upon the death of an employee’s spouse (including common-law), child, parent, sister or brother the employee shall be entitled to 5 days bereavement leave without loss of pay provided he has not less than 6 months cumulative compensated service. Upon the death of an employee’s step-parent, father-in-law or mother-in-law, grandchild or grandparent, the employee shall be entitled to 3 days bereavement leave without loss of pay provided he has not less than 6 months cumulative compensated service. It is the intent of this Article to provide for the granting of leave from work on the occasion of a death as aforesaid and for the payment of his regular wages for that period to the employee to whom leave is granted. Upon request, the Company will grant two additional days without pay to the employee. NOTE: The term “common-law spouse” will be interpreted to mean an individual who has maintained proven co-habitation for a period of 12 or more consecutive months. 11.4.2 Upon the death of a member of an employee’s immediate family, employees who have completed more than 3 months but less than 6 months of cumulated compensated service shall be entitled to bereavement leave without loss of pay on any of the employee’s working days that occur during the 3 days immediately following the day of the death. Employees with more than 6 months cumulative compensated service who are not entitled to bereavement leave in Article 11.4.1 will be entitled to leave in accordance with this section, if qualified. Immediate Family is defined as: a) the employee’s spouse or common-law partner; b) the employee’s father and mother and the spouse or common- law partner of the father or mother; c) the employee’s children and the children of the employee’s spouse or common-law partner; d) the employee’s grandchildren; e) the employee’s brothers and sisters; f) the grandfather and grandmother of the employee; g) the father and mother of the spouse or common-law partner of the employee and the spouse or common-law partner of the father and mother; and h) any relative of the employee who resides permanently with the employee or with whom the employee permanently resides
General Leaves of Absence A.

The terms of the leave of absence will be confirmed in writing by the College. B. The leave of absence of an employee on leave for reasons other than military service will terminate at the end of one (1) full year in which no service has been rendered. No more than one (1) year will be granted to any family unit for maternity/paternity leave for any one (1) child. C. Except for military service, there shall be no other employment while on leave without prior approval of the President. D. The returning employee will be assigned to the position occupied before the leave of absence. If that position is unavailable/eliminated, the employee may choose a vacant position substantially equal in duties and compensation or any opening for which the employee is qualified. E. Employees filling positions of employees on leave of absence will be assigned to such positions for a specific period of time, during which they shall be subject to all provisions of this Agreement. It shall be the responsibility of the College to inform replacement employees of these provisions. This provision does not apply to leaves of short duration for which the College presently hires temporary employees. F. The employee will retain accrued sick leave, vested vacation rights, and seniority rights while on leave of absence. However, vacation credits, sick leave, and seniority shall not accrue while the employee is on leave of absence; provided, however, that if such leave is approved for extended illness or injury, seniority shall accrue.
