Return from Leaves. A. Application for reinstatement shall be made at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of an unpaid leave of absence for personal illness, injury and pregnancy. Not less than ten (10) days before the termination of the leave, the employee shall submit a written statement from the attending physician certifying that the employee has been medically examined and is or will be able to resume his/her duties with the BOARD when the leave of absence expires. Nothing in this section shall be construed to preclude an employee from returning to active employment status prior to the expiration of such leave upon the authorization of the attending physician or authorized practitioner; provided, however, the employee notifies the EMPLOYER of the employee's intent to return to work fifteen (15) working days in advance of such return.
