Unpaid Disability Leave Requested by the Employee. If an employee’s illness or disability continues beyond the time covered by his earned sick leave, he may request an unpaid disability leave or other unpaid leave of absence. Employees may also use earned vacation time or compensatory time after exhausting sick leave, but before applying for an unpaid disability leave. Employees may utilize donated sick leave after exhausting their paid leaves; however, any approved unpaid disability leave shall commence once the employee’s paid leaves are exhausted. Employees shall not accumulate leaves or paid holidays when utilizing donated sick leave. An employee may request an unpaid disability leave for up to six (6) months if he continues to be injured, ill, or physically or mentally incapacitated from the performance of the regular duties of his position after he has exhausted his accumulated sick leave, compensatory time and vacation. Employees on unpaid disability leave shall not accumulate leaves (sick or vacation) or receive longevity pay. Employees who are not able, at the expiration of the unpaid disability leave, to perform all the functions and duties of their classification will be deemed separated from employment. To be eligible to return from unpaid disability leave, the employee may be required to authorize the release of medical records or at the discretion of the Employer, submit to an examination. Refusal or failure to submit records or be examined will be deemed separated.
