ILLNESS PROGRAM Sample Clauses

The Illness Program clause establishes the procedures and benefits available to individuals who are unable to perform their duties due to illness. Typically, this clause outlines the eligibility criteria for accessing illness-related leave or support, the process for notifying the employer or relevant authority, and the duration and extent of benefits provided, such as paid or unpaid leave. Its core practical function is to ensure that employees or participants are protected and supported during periods of illness, while also providing clear guidelines for both parties to manage absences and maintain operational continuity.
