28.9 General Provisions <br />The following provisions apply to leave without pay status: <br />A. An employee granted a leave of absence must keep the department <br />informed of his current activity (school, medical, military, etc.) each time a <br />request for extension of the leave is made. In addition, the employee <br />must keep the department advised of his current address at all times. <br />Failure to comply with these provisions shall result in the employee being <br />dropped from leave of absence status, in which case he must return to <br />duty or be discharged. <br />B. An employee granted a leave of absence shall contact the department <br />head at least two (2) weeks prior to the expiration of the leave in order to <br />facilitate the reinstatement process. <br />C. Failure to return to work at the expiration of the leave shall be considered <br />a resignation. <br />D. No sick leave or vacation shall be accrued by an employee while he is on <br />leave without pay if the employee is absent for more than one-half of his <br />normally scheduled work hours during the month. <br />E. An effort will be made to return the employee to the position and status <br />held immediately prior to his leave of absence. If the employee's former <br />position is filled, he may be transferred to a position for which he qualifies, <br />subject to the approval of the department head and the County <br />Administrator. If no vacancy exists for which the employee qualifies, he <br />will be placed in a layoff status with recall rights pursuant to Article 25, <br />Separations. <br />F. Time spent on leave of absence shall not constitute a break in service. <br />However, the time shall not be credited toward retirement, vacation, sick <br />leave, or toward satisfying the probationary period. <br />28.10 Employees who are on worker's compensation leave may supplement their <br />worker's compensation payments with any accrued sick or vacation leave, up to <br />100% of their regular take-home pay. <br />28.11 No sick leave or vacation shall be accrued by an employee while he is on <br />workers' compensation leave if the employee is absent for more than one-half of <br />his normally scheduled work hours during the month. <br />43 <br />
