Maternity Leave A maternity leave shall be available to female employees who are pregnant upon the following conditions: 1. At least sixty (60) calendar days prior to the beginning of the leave, the employee shall apply to the Board if she wishes an unpaid leave. 2. The application shall be in writing and request specific beginning and ending dates of the leave. 3. The Board reserves the right to specify the beginning and ending date of the leave except the same shall not be in conflict with the doctor's statement of health. 4. The Board may grant up to one (1) school year of maternity leave renewable at the discretion of the Board. 5. Any maternity leave granted will be without pay, however, the employee, upon return from the leave, shall have all previous benefits of this Agreement restored to her, but shall not accumulate any benefits while on such a leave. 6. The provisions of a maternity leave shall not exempt an employee from the provisions of the lay-off procedure contained in this Agreement except the Board shall not be required to give notice of lay-off for the duration of the maternity leave. 7. If the employee does not return upon the expiration of the maternity leave, she shall conclusively be deemed to have resigned unless mutually agreed upon by the Board and the employee prior to said date. 8. Employees returning from a maternity leave shall furnish medical evidence of their ability to perform their normal work assignments. 9. Employees may make written application for extension of the maternity leave subject to the provisions of the initial request. 10. An employee may make written application to the superintendent for reinstatement prior to expiration of the leave. However, the Board of Education reserves the reasonable right to approve accelerated termination of maternity leaves on the basis of each individual case. The reasonable right of the Board of Education will be grievable. 11. An employee on maternity leave must have her current address on file in the superintendent's office.
FMLA Leave The Board agrees to comply with the Family and Medical Leave Act and agrees that any policy adopted to implement the FMLA shall in no way reduce or adversely impact any other provision of this Agreement.
▇▇▇▇ Leave For laid off employees, sick leave accruals shall remain on the books and be reinstated if such employees are re-appointed. Whenever a person becomes ineligible for re-employment and such person has not been re-employed, then, if at the point of layoff, such person was eligible to receive a sick leave accrual payoff, such person shall be paid for existing sick leave accruals in accordance with Item 12 of the Ventura County Firemen's Association 1976-1978 Memorandum of Understanding.
Disability Leave a. An employee who has suffered possible injury in the performance of assigned duties shall immediately undergo such medical examination as the appointing authority deems necessary. He or she shall not be considered absent from duty during the time required for such examination. b. A regular employee who is unable to perform any appropriate work assignment because of disability incurred in the performance of assigned duties shall be entitled to the following disability leave benefits, in addition to those provided pursuant to the California Worker's Compensation Insurance Act. (1) During any period of disability for which payment is not provided under Worker's Compensation Insurance, the employee shall be placed on disability leave with pay to the extent of any leave with pay which he or she has accrued. Such disability leave with pay shall be charged against the employee's accrued leave with pay. (2) During any period of disability for which payment is provided under Worker's Compensation Insurance, the employee shall elect either: (a) Retain any Workers' Compensation Benefits received during the pay period and receive full pay. The employee shall use their accrued sick leave, vacation CTO and HIL on an hour- for-hour basis to cover all hours the employee is absent from duty due to the work-related disability during the applicable pay period. Or, (b) Retain any Workers' Compensation Benefits received during the pay period and receive a partial paycheck in an amount so that the partial pay and the Workers' Compensation Benefits added together are equivalent to the employee's full pay. The employee shall use their accrued sick leave, vacation, CTO, and HIL in an amount equal to one-half of the number of hours the employee was absent from work during the pay period due to the work-related disability. If, however, the amount of the Workers' Compensation Benefits is subtracted from the employee's full pay for the time off due to the disability, and the remainder is less than one-half of the amount of such full pay, then only the number of leave balance hours necessary to equal that remainder shall be charged. (3) The choice of either (2)(a) or (2)(b) above shall be an irrevocable choice for the duration of the disability leave resulting from the work- related injury. However, if the employee returns to work for a period of at least thirty (30) calendar days, the employee may again elect to choose either option b.(2)(a) or b.(2)(b) for any subsequent disability leave taken as a result of (or relating to) the same injury. c. All disability leave provisions of this section shall terminate when the employee uses all accrued sick leave, vacation, CTO or HIL balances, or upon the date of the employee's recovery from disability, receipt of permanent disability under Workers' Compensation Insurance, retirement, termination from County employment, or death.
