Non-Paid Leave of Absence
In extenuating circumstances full-time classified
employees may request a non paid leave of absence
providing they have exhausted all available leaves.
Requests for leave will be considered on an individual
basis, taking into consideration the employee’s
position as it relates to work responsibility and
alternatives available for covering the position
during the requested period of absence. Employees
returning from an approved non paid leave of absence
are not guaranteed the same position, pay grade,
work schedule, work hours, benefits, or location
upon return to work. Leave requests are approved
by his/her Area Director.
Medical Leave – Paid
Absence for illness, surgery, and disability using
paid leave will be considered as a medical leave
of absence and must be applied for and approved
by the Site Supervisor.
The employee must provide medical recertification
every 30 days, or if the condition of the employee
and/or family member has changed from the original
medical statement. (Refer to Sick leave 7.3.1 for
the definition of a family member). While on leave,
the employee must provide frequent status reports
to their supervisor and affirm their intention
to return to work while on leave.

Medical Leave – Non-Paid
Absence for illness, surgery, and disability using
non paid leave will be considered as a medical
leave of absence and must be applied for and approved
by the Site Supervisor, Area Director and School
Board.
The employee must provide medical recertification
every 30 days, or if the condition of the employee
and/or family member has changed from the original
medical statement (refer to Sick Leave 7.3.1 for
the definitions of family member). While on leave,
the employee must provide frequent status reports
to their supervisor and affirm their intention
to return to work while on leave. All non paid
leave of absences must be applied for and approved
every 30 days.
Leave without pay may only be used after all earned
sick leave, personal, and vacation leave have been
used. If you are on a non paid leave of absence,
you will not be paid for any holidays which might
occur during the leave.
During a period of authorized non paid medical
leave, no PERSI, Sick or Vacation service credits
accrue to the employee. Employees on a non paid
leave of absence not protected under the Family
and Medical Leave Act may continue group health
insurance for themselves and their dependents through
the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation
Act (COBRA).
Employees may discontinue group health benefits
during a non paid leave of absence; however, only
employees who continue benefits through COBRA are
eligible to have group health dependent premiums
deducted on a pre-tax basis upon return to paid
status for the duration of the plan year. Employees
who discontinue coverage during a non paid leave
may be reinstated to the plan upon return to paid
status; however, dependent premiums must be deducted
on an after-tax basis for the remainder of that
plan year. Deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums
will start over again for employees who discontinue
insurance coverage while on a leave of absence
and begin coverage upon return to work.
Military
Employees who are inducted into the U.S. Armed
Forces or who are reserve members of the U.S. Armed
Forces obligations in compliance with state and
federal laws. These employees may use accrued personal/vacation
leave but are not required to do so. At the conclusion
of the leave, employees generally have the right
to return to the same position held prior to the
leave or to positions with equivalent seniority,
pay and benefits. The District will pay the difference
between military pay and regular wages/salary for
up to ten (10) days of military leave in any one
year. The Superintendent, or designee, may extend
the number of days that may be allowed for military
leave. Whenever the daily compensation rate for
military service is less than the daily compensation
for assigned position, the district will pay the
difference to the employee.
Employees are asked to complete the Leave of Absence
Request form and copy of Active Duty Orders along
with leave paper work. Employees are to notify
their supervisors as soon as they are aware of
the military obligation.
Questions regarding the District’s military
leave policy, applicable state and federal laws
and continuation of benefits should contact the
Employment and Benefits department.
Student Teacher
Leave
Employees wishing to complete their Practicum
and/or Student Teaching in the field of education
may apply for an unpaid Student Teaching Leave
for one semester. Employees must apply for this
leave by completing the Leave of Absence Request
form and provide documentation from the institution
indicating beginning and end dates for the required
program. The leave request will be authorized by
his/her Area Director. Employees returning from
an approved leave of absence are not guaranteed
the same position, pay, grade, work schedule, work
hours, benefits, or location upon return to work.
