Disability Leave Bank Clause Samples
The Disability Leave Bank clause establishes a pooled reserve of leave days that employees can access in the event of a disability that prevents them from working. Typically, employees may contribute a portion of their own leave to the bank, and those who exhaust their personal leave due to a qualifying disability can apply to draw additional days from this shared resource. This clause ensures that employees facing extended medical absences have a safety net, promoting financial security and workplace support during periods of disability.
