An employee who does not have sufficient Sick Leave credits to cover the one hundred and nineteen (119) day LTD waiting period shall be deemed to be on an unpaid leave of absence for the remaining balance of the waiting period. Medical, Extended Health, Dental, and Group Life/ AD&D coverage shall continue for the first four (4) weeks of the unpaid leave in accordance with the cost-sharing arrangements agreed to in the Collective Agreement. The employee may elect to maintain their Medical, Extended Health, Dental, and Group Life/ AD&D benefits coverage following the four (4) week period by paying one hundred percent (100%) of the premiums. If the Group Life Plan includes a premium waiver, no premiums will be payable as long as that provision is in effect.

Where an employee returns to regular employment, the time absent will be included in the calculation of the employee's seniority and eligibility for future vacation entitlement only.
