Rest Leave. 1. A rest leave is a leave requested by a unit member who, in the opinion of a physician, is not ill enough to qualify for sick leave but does need a rest for the specific purpose of regaining his/her good health. Rest leave shall not be construed as sick leave. 2. The unit member must have served in probationary or permanent status during the preceding school year for a minimum of 150 days in order to be considered for rest leave. 3. The leave shall be requested for one year or less. 4. No salary or benefit of any type shall be paid by the District for the period covered by an approved rest leave. Also, no credit shall accrue for tenure or any other benefit of any type unless otherwise provided in this section. 5. Unit members shall request a rest leave in writing and attach a doctor's statement verifying the necessity for rest, and length of leave needed. At the option of the District, the unit member may be required, at the District's expense, to obtain periodic medical verification from a physician of the District's choice.
