Sick Leave Section 1. Xxxx leave credit will be earned in the following manner for full-time and part-time RNs only, excluding intermittent nurses. A. One hundred twenty (120) hours shall be credited to a yearly sick leave pool as of the first full pay period in January of each year. Nurses who are not in pay status at the beginning of the year will have their sick hours pro-rated based on the percentage of the year missed. Sick time may be accumulated without limitation. Previously accumulated sick leave of employees shall be credited to their sick leave pool. Sick leave hours are pro-rated according to appointment level for part-time nurses. A physician's excuse is required following the fortieth (40th) consecutive hour of sick leave, when the leave is of a duration greater than forty (40) hours. B. If the sick leave pool is exhausted any nurse may retroactively use accrued vacation time in lieu of unpaid sick leave. Section 2. The provisions of this article shall apply to maternity and/or any disability arising therefrom. Sick leave benefit may be utilized for the duration of maternity and/or any resulting physical disability which is validated by a physician's certificate, so long as accrued time is available. When accrued time is not available, unpaid maternity leave is available to allow for a total leave of twelve (12) weeks, including all time taken for child- rearing purposes. Section 3. If a nurse's physical disability continues beyond the time covered by his/her accumulated sick leave, he/she shall be granted a leave of absence without pay for a period up to six (6) months provided there is evidence submitted to the supervisor as to inability to work and the probable date of return. Upon a successful return to work exam and returning from leave, the nurse will be returned to his/her position if it has not been permanently filled; otherwise he/she shall be given whatever work is available for which he/she is qualified and will be given the first opportunity for consideration to return to his/her position when the position is open. Section 4. Disability Leave may be granted instead of unpaid leave of absence, if there is no evidence or probable date of the nurse's return to work, or if an illness or disability continues past expiration of the unpaid leave. A nurse who has been given a Disability Leave shall have the right to be reinstated to the same or similar position he/she held at the time of his/her leave within thirty (30) days after written application for reinstatement and after passing a return to work examination by a licensed physician designated by the Center, showing that he/she has recovered from such disability, provided further that such application for reinstatement be filed within three (3) years from the date of separation, and further provided that such application not be filed after the date of service eligibility retirement. The Center will fill vacancies caused by long-term medical leaves that exist for a period of six (6) months, depending upon staffing needs of the department as determined by Center Administration and the employment availability of qualified registered nurses. This section shall not be construed as restricting Center management from taking appropriate action at an earlier date. Section 5. If a nurse so chooses, he/she may use any earned but unused vacation or compensatory time before being granted a leave of absence without pay. A declaration of intent regarding such usage shall be made prior to the expiration of any accumulated sick leave. Requests to use vacation or compensatory time will not be honored once he/she has been granted an unpaid leave of absence. Section 6. Nurses reinstated to their former position, recalled from layoff or who re-enter Center employment within ten (10) years shall be credited with any accumulated sick leave balance remaining at the end of their previous service. No prior credit is given if the employee was out of service more than ten (10) years, except for military leave. Section 7. All previously accumulated and unused and/or unpaid sick leave of a nurse who has been separated from the public service shall be placed in his/her credit upon re- employment at the Center, provided that such re-employment takes place within ten
Termination for Cause If Vendor fails to materially perform pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, TIPS shall provide written notice to Vendor specifying the default. If Vendor does not cure such default within thirty (30) days, TIPS may terminate this Agreement, in whole or in part, for cause. If TIPS terminates this Agreement for cause, and it is later determined that the termination for cause was wrongful, the termination shall automatically be converted to and treated as a termination for convenience.

The Union shall be provided with a current copy of the Master Policy. It is clearly understood that the Employer's obligation pursuant to this Collective Agreement is to provide the insurance coverage bargained for. Any problem with respect to the insurer acknowledging or honouring any claims is a matter as between the employee and the insurer. The Employer will notify the Union if it intends to change the Insurance Carrier. Any grievance arising from the interpretation, application and/or administration of the health and welfare benefits shall be resolved as follows: (a) The Union or Employer shall file a written grievance within ten (10) days of its learning that an alleged problem exists. For insured benefits, a copy of the grievance shall be forwarded to the insurers. (b) Within ten (10) days of filing a grievance, the parties shall meet with a view to resolving the grievance.
