Common use of Time Off Work Clause in Contracts

Time Off Work. (a) An Employee shall be given a paid leave of absence while participating in the Employee Assistance Program and the time thus spent shall be deemed to be time worked. Accordingly, the Employee shall be kept "whole" with respect to all pay, seniority, benefits and other rights and entitlements which would accrue under this Agreement had the employee remained working, subject to the provisions of Clause(s) 34.05(b) and (c) below. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the provisions of this Agreement concerning payment for travel, travel time and related allowances shall apply, as appropriate under the circumstances. (b) To the extent that any of the benefit plans provided by this Agreement apply to the particular circumstances of an Employee who is participating in the Employee Assistance Program, they shall so apply, providing that at all times the Employee is kept "whole" by the Employer. (c) Before using paid leave under Clause 34.05(a) above or any applicable benefit plan coverage under Clause 34.05(b) above, with respect to providing paid time off work to participate in any EAP treatment program, an Employee shall first exhaust his or her available sick leave credits under Article 23. Paid time off work for EAP consultations, as opposed to EAP treatment programs, shall not be deducted from available sick leave credits.
