Common use of Reinstatement Procedure Clause in Contracts

Reinstatement Procedure. Reinstatement rights following disability leave/separation extend for two (2) years from the first date of absence. Time spent on unpaid disability leave and/or any combination of other paid or unpaid leave prior to or in lieu of unpaid disability leave for the same or related disabling condition shall be considered part of the disability separation for purposes of the two (2) year reinstatement rights consistent with the provisions set forth within this article. Such employee is to be reinstated to the same or similar position within thirty (30) calendar days after making written application and providing medical documentation and/or passing a medical examination showing full qualifications to perform the duties (essential functions) of the position. The Employer may require that an examination be conducted by a physician designated by the Superintendent, and the costs shall be paid by the Employer. The essential functions of the position shall be determined by the job description in effect at the time the employee is seeking reinstatement. The Superintendent should send a written reminder to the employee at least two (2) weeks prior to the expiration of his or her disability separation. An employee who does not return from disability separation, formally resign, or take disability retirement shall be separated with the notation “Failure to Return from Disability Separation.”
