EXHIBIT A
ARTICLE 5. WORKING HOURS, EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Sec. 5.8,.
2. Leave necessitated by preqnancy, childbirth, miscarriage or related medical conditfon-.
AII employee affected by pregnancy, childbirth, or relqted medical conditions may take an unpaid leave of absence for a reasonable time, not to
exceed four months.
A. reasonable time is that period during which the female employee is disabled on account of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions. This time does not include time for
maternity or childcare leave.
~n employee affected by pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions must give the District
reasonable notice of the date the leave a€ absencl will begin and the estimated length of leave.
Reasonable notice is that time prior to taking
leave when the employee knows the estimated date leave of absence will begin. ..
If the employee returns within four months, she
will be reinstated to her former position, unless the job ceases to exist because of legitimate businesszeasons or the employer was unable to leave the position unfilled or fill it with
temporary employees.
If the employee is not returned to her original fob, she will be given a substantially slmllar
job, unless there is no substantially similar position available or the substantially similar position is available, but filling the available position with the returning employee would substantially undermine the employer’s ability to operate the bllsiness safely and efficiently.
When the leave of absence exceeds four months, then the prmisions of Section 5.8 (1) and (3) governing leave without pay or leave of absence
become applicable to that employee.
If the employee is temporarily disabled because of pregnancy, childbirth or related condition, but is able to work in a less strenuous or hazardous
position, the General Manager may transfer that
employee, upon request, to a less strenuous or
hazardous position, unless the General Manager finds denial of the request necessary €or the safe and efficient operation of the District.
BENEFITS
An employee who requests a leave of absence be- cause of pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions, shall use accrued sick leave and vaca- tion leave, as permitted by Sections 5.4 and f.5.
