Return Procedures. Unpaid leaves which are longer than 12 weeks do not qualify as FMLA leaves. An Employee returning from leave provided in this paragraph shall be placed on the step of the salary schedule from which they went on leave. Except for FMLA leaves which do not exceed 12 work weeks, if the Board fills this vacancy by putting another Employee under contract, the Employee on leave will not be reinstated for the length of this contract or prior to the end of the school year, whichever first occurs.
