Common use of Disability Absence Clause in Contracts

Disability Absence. A disabled employee may be provided an unpaid leave of absence of a specific duration as a reasonable accommodation where it is likely the employee will be able to return to their job at the conclusion of the leave. If, during the course of such leave, the District reasonably determines that it is unlikely that the employee will be able to return to their position because of a disability, the District may terminate the employment, provided that there is no available alternative position for which the employee is qualified to perform. The District may deny a request for leave under this article where the length of the leave imposes an undue hardship on the District. When an employee becomes disabled due to a work related injury, the maximum duration of an occupational injury leave is as required by law. This article is not intended to abridge rights involving disability leave where said rights are otherwise established by local, state or federal statute.
