Short-Term Disability Leave. In order to access short-term disability leave, medical confirmation may be requested and shall be provided on the form attached as Appendix “C” to this Agreement. In either instance where an Employee does not provide medical confirmation as requested, or otherwise declines to participate and/or cooperate in the administration of the Sick Leave Plan, access to compensation may be suspended or denied. Before access to compensation is denied, discussion will occur between the union and the school board. Compensation will not be denied for the sole reason that the medical practitioner refuses to provide the required medical information. A school board may require an independent medical examination to be completed by a medical practitioner qualified in respect of the illness or injury of the Board’s choice at the Board’s expense. In cases where the Employee’s failure to cooperate is the result of a medical condition, the Board shall consider those extenuating circumstances in arriving at a decision.

Short-Term Disability Leave. Short-Term Disability Leave refers to a period of at least six consecutive working days and no more than ninety consecutive calendar days during which a Member is absent from assigned teaching and non-teaching duties because of illness or injury, and that absence preceded the start of approved vacation leave. A Member on such Leave does not incur any loss of salary or benefits or vacation entitlement.

Members will maintain contact with the Health and Wellness Centre during his/her short-term disability leave.

A Continuous Part-Time Member shall be eligible for a maximum of ninety consecutive calendar days of Short-Term Disability Leave each academic year, during which time his/her salary will be pro-rated based on the proportion of a normal instructional-hour load that the Member carries during that year. A Sessional or Replacement Sessional Member shall be eligible for 7.5 calendar days of Short-Term Disability Leave after the completion of each month of the first twelve months of employment with the College. After this twelve-month period, the Member is eligible for a maximum of ninety consecutive days of such Leave each academic year, regardless of the number of months completed in any one Contract. The period of Leave may not extend beyond the date on which the Member’s Contract ends. A Part-Time Member shall not be eligible for Short-Term Disability Leave. Short-Term Disability Leave does not carry over to ensuing years.

In the event that a Member returns to work on a modified basis while still under Short-Term Disability Leave, the date at which the Member’s Short-Term Disability expires will be extended by the number of days or partial days the Member works until such time that the Member reaches their maximum entitlement, as is specified above.
