Eligible Employees Regular and probationary, full time and less than full-time employees (on a pro rata basis) are eligible to participate in this program. Sec. 903 COURSES ELIGIBLE: The following criteria will be used in determining eligibility for reimbursement:
Employees and Employee Benefits (a) Purchaser shall offer employment, within a reasonable commuting distance from the Branch to which each Applicable Employee is assigned, in positions requiring comparable skills and abilities (with no reduction in base salary or weekly or hourly rate of pay) to all Applicable Employees (as defined below). Such offer shall be effective on the Closing Date in the case of an Applicable Employee actively employed at the Closing, or upon the return of any such Applicable Employee to active employment in the case of any other Applicable Employee. For purposes of this Agreement, “Applicable Employees” means (i) all active Employees on the Closing Date, including Employees on temporary leave for purposes of jury or annual two-week national service/military duty, Employees on vacation and Employees on a regularly scheduled day off from work, and (ii) Employees who on the Closing Date are on maternity or paternity leave, educational leave, military leave with veteran’s reemployment rights under federal law, leave under the Family Medical Leave Act of 1993, approved personal leave, short-term disability leave or medical leave, provided, however, that no such Employee shall be guaranteed reinstatement to active employment if he is incapable of working in accordance with the policies, practices and procedures of the Purchaser or if his return to employment is contrary to the terms of his leave; and further provided, however that Purchaser shall not be required to offer employment to any Applicable Employee whose employment would not be permitted under applicable law and regulation. Each Applicable Employee who accepts Purchaser’s offer of employment shall be a “Transferred Employee” for purposes of this Agreement effective upon the later of the Closing Date or the return of such Applicable Employee to active employment. A Transferred Employee’s employment with Purchaser shall be on an “at-will” basis, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute an employment agreement with any such person or to obligate Purchaser to employ any such person for any specific period of time or in any specific position or to restrict Purchaser’s right to terminate the employment of any such person at any time and for any reason satisfactory to it.
