Circumstances are such that administration feels it is reasonable and appropriate.
An employee who is unable to work because of personal illness or disability, and who has exhausted all sick leave available, shall be granted a leave of absence without pay for a period not to exceed two and one-half years. Any employee unable to work due to illness or disability for a period of two and one-half years will be terminated at that point. Provisions of the Family and Medical Leave Act will run concurrent with extended leave for illness or disability. Provisions of the Family and Medical Leave Act begin once sick leave is exhausted. If the employee is released to return to work, but with limitations or restrictions, the form should be forwarded to Human Resources five days prior to the employee's anticipated return to work.
