Employment and Benefits Protection. (a) Upon return from family leave, the employee shall be entitled to be restored by the employer to the position of employment held by the employee when the leave commenced, or restored to an equivalent position with equivalent employment benefits, pay, and other terms and conditions of employment. If, however, during a leave, the employer experiences a layoff or workforce reduction and the employee would have lost a position had the employee not been on family leave, the employee is not entitled to reinstatement in the former or equivalent position. In such circumstances, the employee retains all rights, including seniority rights, pursuant to the good faith operation of a bona fide layoff and recall system.
Employment and Benefits Protection. An employee who has exhausted accrued or accumulated sick pay, personal leave, and accrued or accumulated vacation pay may still be eligible for leave without pay, up to combined total of 12 weeks under FMLA or under College policy. During that 12-week period, extending up to one year without pay if approved by the President and supported by the Board of Trustees, the employee will retain all College-provided fringe benefits, except for vacation and sick leave accrued and retirement contributions based on salary. At the conclusion of a required or approved leave, the employee will be restored to his or her job or to an equivalent position with equivalent pay, benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment. Benefits accrued before the date leave began will not be lost.
Employment and Benefits Protection. Except for workforce reduction situations, female faculty taking paid leave shall be restored to the same or equivalent position held prior to the leave, or restored to an equivalent position with equivalent employment benefits, pay, and other terms and conditions of employment. There shall be no loss of employment benefits accrued prior to leave, except for paid administrative leave expended.
Employment and Benefits Protection. Except for workforce reduction situations, faculty taking parental leave shall be restored to the same or equivalent position held prior to the leave, or restored to an equivalent position with equivalent employment benefits, pay, and other terms and conditions of employment. There shall be no loss of employment benefits accrued prior to leave, except paid parental leave expended.
