Extended Disability Clause Samples
The Extended Disability clause defines the terms under which an individual, typically an employee or insured party, is considered to be continuously disabled beyond an initial period. It outlines the criteria for ongoing disability, such as the inability to perform job duties or any occupation, and specifies the duration and conditions for continued benefits. For example, after a set period of short-term disability, this clause may allow for long-term disability benefits if the individual remains unable to work. Its core function is to provide financial protection and clarity regarding benefit eligibility for prolonged or permanent disabilities, ensuring support for individuals facing extended health challenges.
Extended Disability. (a) If the contract or regular Faculty Member suffers an extended disability and is thereby unable to perform the assigned duties, the Faculty Member shall, upon exhaustion of paid sickness leave status as provided by Article 11, Section 3, be granted an unpaid extended disability leave.
(b) The Faculty Member's request for such unpaid leave shall be accompanied by a physician's statement as to the necessity of such leave and the estimated duration of the disability. The District may at its expense require that the Faculty Member be examined by a physician selected by the District. In the event of a conflict in the findings of the two physicians, a third physician, mutually acceptable to the Faculty Member and the District shall be chosen and an opinion solicited. The cost of such examination by a third physician shall be paid by the District.
(c) The period of such leave shall be determined by the medical condition of the Faculty Member and the needs of the instructional program. Any such extended disability leave shall not exceed a period of twelve (12) calendar months provided that such leave for a contract Faculty Member shall not exceed the end of the semester in which the disability occurs. The District may grant an extension or extensions beyond the period herein specified. Any such extension or extensions is subject to the requirements of subsection (b) of this Section.
