Leaves Taken Near the End of a Term Sample Clauses

Leaves Taken Near the End of a Term. When an FMLA leave is requested, approved, and started within five weeks of the end of a semester or term, and lasts longer than three weeks, the District may require that the unit member on leave remain on leave through the end of the semester or academic term. Educational/academic concerns will be considered when determining if the unit member will be allowed to return to teach the remainder of the course. If the unit member is not allowed to return, the additional leave time will not be counted against the FMLA leave, but may be compensated with any leave available to the unit member. If he/she does not have any additional paid leave, the additional leave will be unpaid, but benefits will continue as during the FMLA leave
