Common use of Maintaining Eligibility Clause in Contracts

Maintaining Eligibility. Assume in all of the following Examples that a weekly Employee has qualified for paid illness or injury leave under the Employment Standards Act by aggregating consecutive days worked on Seasons 1 and 2 of an episodic television series as described in Article 23.1(c) (and as illustrated in Examples 1 and 3 above), and that the Employee continues working as a weekly Employee until the end of Season 2. If the Employee then returns at the beginning of Season 4 of the same series and works as a weekly Employee until the end of Season 4, the Employee likewise remains eligible for paid illness or injury leave until the end of Season 4. In this Example, the Employee’s eligibility for paid illness or injury leave expires at the end of Season 2, because the Employee does not return at the beginning of Season 3. In order to requalify for paid illness or injury leave, the Employee must again satisfy the ninety (90) consecutive day requirement, beginning with the first day of employment on Season 3. In this Example, the Employee remains eligible for paid illness or injury leave until the date of resignation, termination or layoff in Season 3, at which point the Employee’s eligibility expires. When the Employee returns at the beginning of Season 4, the Employee must again satisfy the ninety (90) consecutive day requirement in order to requalify for paid illness or injury leave.
