Right of Reinstatement. a. A leave protects the unit member by holding a place for such member in the District until the leave expires, usually with the right to return to the District in a position of the same status and rank at the conclusion of the leave, providing the position would have otherwise remained and providing that there are no extenuating circumstances which make a return to the same rank and status impractical. There is, however, no assurance that the return assignment will be in the work site where such member was assigned when the leave was authorized. b. A condition of each leave of absence is that any required license or certificate held at the time the leave was granted, properly authorizing the service, must be maintained in full force by the unit member.
