Leaves of absence without pay to take employment with the Union signatory to this MOU shall be granted for a maximum period of twenty-six (26) full biweekly pay periods upon forty-five (45) days advanced written notice from the Union.

In the event that employees on approved Union leaves want to continue group benefits coverage (including medical, dental, vision and life insurance) through the County plans, arrangements will be made for the Union to reimburse the County for the costs associated with continuing such coverage. In the event the employee is in a business critical position, a meeting will occur between the Union and the Department Head regarding the feasibility of the release. (i.e. if the request were to release the only nurse in a specialty or assignment, it may not be feasible to release that period with only forty- five (45) days notice.) No more than one employee at a time county-wide will be released for this type of Leave of Absence with a maximum of two (2) employees per calendar year.
