Orange County ABC Board Policy and Procedure Manual <br /> Employees who sustain work-related injuries are eligible for a medical leave of absence for <br /> the period of disability in accordance with all applicable laws covering occupational <br /> disabilities. <br /> Subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations of the applicable plans, the Board will <br /> continue to provide health insurance benefits for the full period of the approved medical <br /> leave. The employee is responsible for 100% of dependent health and dental coverage (and <br /> any other contributory insurance) during this period. <br /> Vacation leave is earned by Full-time employees in any month that they work or are on paid leave <br /> for Y: of the month or greater. Vacation does not accrue in any month that the employee is on <br /> unpaid leave for more than '/ of the month. If a recognized holiday falls during an eligible <br /> employee's paid absence holiday pay will be provided instead of the paid time off benefit that <br /> would otherwise have applied. If the absence is unpaid then the holiday will also be unpaid. <br /> So that an employee's return to work can be properly scheduled, an employee on medical <br /> leave is required to provide the General Manager with at least two weeks advance notice of <br /> the date the employees intends to return to work. When a medical leave ends, the <br /> employee will be reinstated to the same position, if it is available, or to an equivalent <br /> position for which the employee is qualified. <br /> If an employee fails to report to work promptly at the end of the medical leave, the Board will <br /> assume the employee has resigned and reimbursement will be requested for health <br /> insurance for the period of medical leave. The employee must return to work for a minimum <br /> of 30 calendar days to fulfill the health insurance obligation to the company. <br /> Employees are prohibited from performing unauthorized work for personal gain while on <br /> medical leave. <br /> 4-9 10/25/2019 <br />
