Returning From Leave
Although the School is unable to guarantee reinstatement in all cases, in general an employee who returns to work at the end of his or her leave will be returned to their previous position or a comparable position will be made available to them, subject to certain limitations. All employees returning from medical or pregnancy disability leave must provide medical certification of their fitness to return to work. FMLA-eligible employees who return to work within the 12-week period (or within the 26-week period from military caregiver leave), and any employee returning from pregnancy disability leave within the four-month period, will be reinstated to the same or equivalent position, unless the employee would have been terminated for reasons unrelated to the leave (for example, position elimination), or if the employee can no longer perform the essential functions of the job. Employees returning from leave after more than 12 weeks due to a work-related injury will be reinstated except where reinstatement is unavailable due to business necessity.
If the employee's prior position or an equivalent position is not available at the end of the approved leave, employment will be terminated.
In addition, an employee is considered to have resigned voluntarily if:
• The employee does not return to work on the next regularly scheduled workday after the end of the approved leave period; • The employee does not return to his or her original position or an equivalent one as soon as he or she is able;
• The employee has accepted other employment during the leave period.
Other Types of Leave
Adoption Leave
CSB offers 12 weeks of unpaid leave to care for a newly adopted child to any employee who 1) has been employed by the school for at least one year; (2) has actually worked at least 1,250 hours in the previous 12-month period; and (3) works in a location within 75 miles of at least 50 other employees. The employee may be asked to take leave within a year of the child’s adoption and be asked to use any accrued sick or vacation time during the leave. CSB will continue to maintain the employee’s health insurance benefits for 12 weeks during the leave.
