Continuing Personal Illness Clause Samples
The Continuing Personal Illness clause defines how an ongoing illness affecting a party, typically an employee, is managed under the terms of an agreement. It usually outlines the procedures for notification, documentation requirements, and the duration for which absence due to illness is permitted before further action is considered, such as medical review or potential termination. This clause ensures both parties understand their rights and obligations in the event of prolonged illness, providing clarity and a fair process for handling extended absences.
Continuing Personal Illness. If an educator is unable to perform his duties because of a continuing personal illness and has exhausted accumulated sick leave benefits, the President will, upon the presentation of a physician's statement verifying such personal illness, grant the educator an additional period of sick leave of up to five days beyond the benefit that has been accumulated. In instances where the additional benefit authorized by the President is not sufficient to cover the period of extended illness without loss of salary, the Board of Trustees may, upon the presentation of a physician's statement attesting to a continued personal illness which could preclude satisfactory job performance, grant full-time educators additional sick leave, with pay up to six months or up to the time that long-term disability insurance becomes effective--whichever is sooner. Such authorization shall not be unreasonably denied.
