Common use of Short-Term Disability Leave Clause in Contracts

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. The College will, at its own expense, request that the Member provide a medical certificate dealing with the Member’s ability to perform her/his responsibilities and certifying that any such absence is medically warranted. Members will maintain contact with the Health and Wellness Centre during his/her short-term disability leave. A Probationary/Continuous Member shall be eligible for a maximum of ninety consecutive calendar days of Short-Term Disability Leave each academic year. 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. Members on Short-Term Disability Leave are not eligible for participation in College based instructional or non-instructional (including professional development) activities without the approval of the Health & Wellness Centre and the Division Leader. 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.
