Common use of Return to Active Employment Clause in Contracts

Return to Active Employment. In order to be eligible to return to active employment, an employee returning from an illness or disability leave of absence must provide a statement from the employee's physician releasing the employee to return to work to Human Resources prior to reporting to duty. 9.3.1 The University, at its option and without cost to the employee, may require that a physician or physicians of its choosing examine the employee before returning the employee to active employment. 9.3.2 The assignment upon return from an Illness or Disability Leave, Personal Leave, Educational Leave, Mandatory Sick Leave, and Political Activity Leave will be dependent upon the jobs available within the same classification. If it is not possible to assign work to the employee immediately upon return from leaves specified in this Section, the employee will be granted an extended leave for a maximum of one (1) month, during which time the Human Resources Department will make a concerted effort to find employment for the employee. If the employee is not returned to work during this one (1) month period, the employee will have the right to displace an employee with the least seniority in the same classification, based on the ability to perform the work available. Seniority of employees shall not be credited during leaves of this provision. 9.3.3 If an employee is required to extend a leave of absence because no vacancies exist at the time the employee requests reinstatement, the employee may accept temporary employment outside the University without loss of seniority. If the employee does not return to the University when a vacancy exists, or at the end of the extended leave, the employee's employment shall be terminated.
