Rights Upon Return from Leave of Absence. The Employer may require prior written notice of an employee’s desire to return to work from a leave of absence. For employees returning from a leave of absence of 30 days or more, the employee must undergo a return to work (RTW) process. The need for a RTW process for employees on a leave of absence of less than 30 days will be determined on a case-by-case basis. In addition, for employees on any medical related leave of absence, the Employer will require a clear and concise statement by the employee’s medical provider of the employee’s functional ability to return to work. For employees returning from any leave of absence provided under this agreement, other than those for which federal or state law mandates the terms and conditions of such a return to work, provided the employee gives seven (7) calendar days’ notice of their intent to return, the Employer shall make every reasonable effort to return employees to an available, vacant position for which the employee is qualified. When an employee returns from any approved leave of absence, they shall receive the rate of pay (plus any additional contract-date wage increases) and will be entitled to all seniority and benefits they had acquired and/or accrued prior to taking such a leave. An employee who is on an approved leave of absence for 6 months or less will be contacted and may participate in the shift bid process.
