Common use of RETURN TO WORK FROM A LEAVE Clause in Contracts

RETURN TO WORK FROM A LEAVE. Any return to work from a leave of absence is contingent upon the Employee’s ability to perform the essential functions of the position with or without reasonable accommodation, and upon clearance from Employees treating Physician, human resources, and employee health. When an Employee returns to work, in compliance with the authorized leave of absence, such Employee shall be reinstated in the same classification, position, shift, unit and scheduled hours in which such Employee was employed before his/her absence, if vacant. In addition, an Employee shall be reinstated in the same classification, position, shift, unit and scheduled hours in which such Employee was employed before his/her absence when the Employee’s return date is within thirty (30) days of the commencement of his/her first non- statutory, unprotected leave taken in any rolling twelve (12) month period. If the position is not vacant and the Employee’s return date is not within thirty (30) days, the Facility will reinstate the Employee to a comparable vacant position, provided the Employee satisfies the job requirements and it is reasonable to believe that he/she can satisfactorily perform the job with minimal orientation and training within two (2) weeks. However, if a vacant position within the same classification, position, shift, unit and scheduled hours becomes available within three (3) months of the Employee being reinstated into a comparable position, the Employee may apply for the position and will be granted priority over all other applicants, except those on the recall list. If a comparable vacant position is unavailable, the employee will have a thirty (30) day period to obtain another position for which he/she is qualified. During this thirty (30) day period, the Employee may apply for a vacancy in his/her prior position, or a comparable vacant position (provided the Employee satisfies the job requirements and can satisfactorily perform the job with minimal orientation and training within a two (2) week period) and will be granted priority over all other applicants, except those on the recall list. If such a position is not obtained within this thirty (30) day period, the employee may be terminated, but may continue to apply for any position for which he/she is qualified and will be considered in accordance with the terms of Article 5 – Job Vacancies, Posting, and Bidding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Facility will provide additional return to work protection should it be required by law.
