If you take leave on an intermittent or a reduced work schedule basis, the Company may transfer you to an alternate position with the same or different duties to accommodate the leave, provided that the transfer is temporary and voluntary and there is no other reasonable option available that would allow you to use intermittent or reduced schedule leave. You will be returned to your former position upon giving notice of your readiness to return.
