Unrequested Leave of Absence Section 1. Purpose: The purpose of this Article is to implement the provisions of Minn. Stat. § 122A.40, Subd. 10, which Article, when adopted, shall constitute a plan for unrequested leave because of discontinuance of position, lack of pupils, financial limitations or merger of classes caused by consolidation of districts.
Requesting Leave Eligible employees must (1) notify their supervisor following their department’s call-in policy or guidelines and (2) contact the American Red Cross Absence Management Service Center (the “Leaves Administrator”) at 0-000-000-0000 at least 30 days in advance of the start of the leave. If leave is not foreseeable, employees must provide as much notice as reasonably practicable under the circumstances. Requests for leave under this policy must be made to the Leaves Administrator within 15 days of the qualifying event, except for Parental Leave. Employees applying for leave under this policy are required to submit the documentation requested by the Leaves Administrator to support the request. Where leave under this policy also qualifies for FMLA leave or similar state paid leave programs, employees must submit the required FMLA or state leave documentation, which may also suffice to support this policy’s documentation requirement as determined by the Leaves Administrator. If the requested Paid Family Leave is not approved by the Leaves Administrator prior to requested start date of the leave, an employee can elect to use PTO while waiting for approval of the leave request beyond the one week waiting period. If the Paid Family Leave is approved, the Leaves Administrator will reinstate 80% of PTO hours taken beyond the waiting period with Paid Family Leave. If this results in an overpayment, the Red Cross will recover the overpayment following its standard recovery procedures through Payroll. Failure to provide documentation requested by the Leaves Administrator in support of the leave by the due date set by the Administrator will result in the request being denied.
Self-Funded Leave 25.2.1 An employee may apply to participate in the self funded leave plan as permitted under the Income Tax Act (Canada) in order to defer pre-tax salary dollars to fund a leave of absence. The deferral period must be at least one (1) year and not more than four (4) years.
Maternity/Paternity/Adoption Leave An Employee who is expecting the birth or adoption of a child shall be entitled to maternity/paternity/adoption leave without pay, provided she presents a medical certificate confirming the probable date of confinement, or in the case of adoption, gives the Employer notice of eligibility. Except in extenuating circumstances, the notice shall be submitted in writing at least twenty-eight (28) days in advance of the leave and shall specify the probable date of commencement and the anticipated length of leave. The following conditions shall apply:
Maternity/Adoption Leave An employee who is pregnant and who has three (3) months or more of continuous service with the Company shall be granted leave of absence under the terms and conditions of the Employment Standards Act except as herein otherwise provided:
Employer Grievance The Employer may institute a grievance by delivering the same in writing to the President of the Local Union and the President shall answer such grievance in writing within five working (5) days. If the answer is not acceptable to the Employer, the Employer may, within ten (10) working days from the day the President gives her answer, give ten (10) working days notice to the President of the Local Union of its intention to refer the dispute to arbitration.
Self-Funded Leave Plan 26.01 The Self Funded Leave Plan has been developed to afford Employees the opportunity of taking up to one year leave of absence and, through deferral of salary, to finance the leave subject to the regulations under the Income Tax Act.
Maternity/Parental/Adoption Leave Maternity/Parental/Adoption leave shall be granted as a right as per the Employment Standards Act.
