Other Leave Provisions Sample Clauses
The "Other Leave Provisions" clause defines additional types of leave that employees may be entitled to beyond standard categories such as annual, sick, or parental leave. This clause typically outlines the eligibility, duration, and approval process for special leave types, which may include bereavement leave, jury duty, or unpaid personal leave. By specifying these provisions, the clause ensures that both employers and employees have clear guidelines for handling less common leave situations, thereby reducing ambiguity and supporting fair workplace practices.
Other Leave Provisions. 1. The Board shall provide a substitute for those who serve on jury duty, National Guard and Reserve military duty, and who are subpoenaed to participate in court proceedings in which they are not involved as a party litigant or have an interest in the outcome of the proceeding. The Board shall pay the difference between compensation (excluding a travel allowance) for jury duty and the teacher’s salary if such duty is during teacher employment days.
2. A leave of absence without pay of up to two (2) years may be granted to any full-time teacher, upon application and approval, in the sole discretion of the Board, for the purpose of participating in educationally recognized and/or accredited teaching programs in other school districts, states, U.S. territories and domestic military programs as a full-time participant in such a program. Upon return from such a leave, a full-time teacher shall be placed in the same position on the Professional Compensation Schedule as he/she would have been if he/she had worked in the District during the period of such a leave, provided the teaching program has been approved in advance by the Superintendent and the Superintendent determines that the teacher has satisfactorily completed the teaching program in question.
3. A leave of absence without pay of up to one (1) year may be granted to any full-time tenured teacher, upon application and approval, in the sole discretion of the Board, for the purpose of study, travel, or personal business, but it is not the intent that such leave would be approved when it follows parental leave as provided in Section E above. No experience step increase shall be granted on the Professional Compensation Schedule for the period of such leave. Such leave may be extended for up to an additional one (1) year under the same terms and conditions.
Other Leave Provisions. 1. Members of the bargaining unit who do not meet other paid leave provisions may be granted unpaid leave at the discretion of the Superintendent and/or the Board.
2. Any bargaining unit member on any unpaid leave of absence shall be entitled to participate, at the member’s own expense, in all Board insurance programs at the group rates, provided this is permitted by the insurance carriers involved, COBRA or FMLA, and provided further that the necessary payment arrangements are made with the Treasurer’s office.
Other Leave Provisions. 1. Bereavement leave shall be afforded to employees up to five (5) days, for the death of any member of the employee's immediate family. Employees requiring extended bereavement leave are strongly encouraged to communicate with Human Resources about the possible allocation of other leaves prior to their use.
2. Full pay will be allowed by the District for absences because of court summons, subpoena, jury service or other public hearings due to the actions of persons other than the employee and in which the employee is not a litigant. All fees except mileage collected by an employee for such service shall be turned over to the District.
3. An employee who anticipates the necessity for disability leave in connection with maternity shall so inform the District as soon as she is aware of its pendency. She shall also submit medical certification of her continued fitness to perform her duties at eight (8) week intervals between the date of delivery of said notice and the commencement of her leave. The employee shall commence leave on the date recommended by her medical advisor. The employee may use accrued sick leave during the period of disability, except that an employee who is absent of sick leave for five (5) or more consecutive days may be required to submit a statement from her medical advisor indicating the reason she cannot perform the duties to which she is assigned and the anticipated duration of such disability. The employee shall provide the District with a medical statement of her anticipated date of return to work within seven (7) days of the birth of her child. In the event that an employee shows evidence of deviation from normal health during the term of pregnancy, she may be required to consult with a physician chosen by the District to confirm her continued fitness to perform the duties to which she is assigned on the first working day cited by her medical advisor as the date upon which she is capable of returning. Upon expiration of sick leave, or at any prior time, the employee may request unpaid leave for the remainder of the fiscal year in which her child is born. The granting of such leave shall be the sole option of the District. She may also request a one (1) year extension of such leave. It is understood that the employee has no absolute right to the position she left prior to the granting of such leave as may be approved by the District and that she will be placed in a position within the same classification upon her return to work.

If leave is requested on this basis, however, the Board may; at its discretion, require the employee to transfer temporarily to an alternative position which better accommodates the recurring periods of absence or to a part-time schedule, provided that the position has equivalent pay and benefits.
(b) Notwithstanding other provisions of this Article XI, employees can maintain coverage of the group health plan under the conditions coverage would have otherwise been provided if the employee had continued to work, for the first twelve (12) weeks of a Parental, Medical or Special Leave of Absence taken during any twelve (12) month period.
Other Leave Provisions. 1. An employee returning from a medical leave of absence of one (1) year or less shall be returned to the same previously held position. If the position has been eliminated, the employee shall assume the position of the least senior employee in the returning employee's classification with comparable hours, providing the employee has less seniority than the employee returning. If the employee returning from leave does not have sufficient district-wide seniority to obtain a position, he/she shall be placed on layoff status.
2. Upon return from all other leaves of absence, the returning employee shall assume the position of the least senior employee in the returning employee's classification with comparable hours, providing the employee has less seniority than the employee returning.
