accommodation might be that an employee’s leave is extended beyond the 52 week period until such time that the employee can return to work with or without restrictions. This reasonable accommodation determination will be made on a case-by-case basis. If this reasonable accommodation/interactive process finds that extending an employee’s medical leave is not reasonable, the employee will be administratively terminated. If the former employee is later able to return to work, the employee may request re-employment by completing a new application. Re-employment will depend upon the Company’s staffing needs at the time.

OTHER LEAVES OF ABSENCE

PERSONAL LEAVE To receive a personal leave you must be employed 12 months. The Company may grant a personal leave of absence of up to 30 days to an employee, business conditions permitting, if the following conditions are met: 1. At least 2 weeks in advance of the effective date of the leave, the employee submits the request in writing to his or her department head, stating the reason for the request and the length of leave required. 2. The department head pre-approves the request. You will be required to substitute any accrued paid leave while on unpaid personal leave. When the employee returns from personal leave, he or she will resume the same job or a comparable job. The employee and his or her dependents will be covered by company-paid benefits during the leave. The employee must make arrangements to pay his or her payroll contribution rates by personal check while on personal leave. If employment with another company occurs during the leave, the Company will consider the employee to have voluntarily quit or resigned and all reinstatement rights are immediately forfeited. MILITARY LEAVE There is no employment service requirement that must be satisfied for military leave. If you are inducted into the U. S. Armed Forces, or if you have reserve duty training obligations, you will be given a leave of absence. We request that you provide us with as much advanced notice as possible. Upon completion of your duties, you will have reinstatement rights consistent with applicable laws and business requirements. Additionally, as a company we have a military leave supplement based upon the difference between your military base earnings and your base company earnings. This is payable for six months, if you qualify. Please see your human resources business partner for additional information. If you comply with all applicable legal requirements concerning reinstatement, there will be no waiting period required for reinstatement of company benefits upon your return. The human resources business partner can provide counsel on requirements and rights as requested. BEREAVEMENT LEAVE Bereavement Leave for an Immediate Family Member When a death occurs in an employee's immediate family, including the death of an employee’s unborn child, all regular full-time employees may take up to three (3) days off with pay to attend the funeral, make funeral arrangements or to grieve, if the employee is unable to attend the service due to time or travel constraints. This benefit is separate from the Company’s PTO or vacation policies. Bereavement leave will be paid at the regular straight time hourly rate up to a maximum of eight (8) hours per day. Paid bereavement leave does not count as time worked for purposes of calculating overtime.
