4. Leave Without Pay

Leave without pay must be approved by the Director and may be granted for vacation and sick time beyond that authorized with pay and for certain other purposes, such as pursuit of courses of study related to the work the employee performs. Leave without pay in excess of 30 days will be granted only if RLES will benefit substantially from such leave. All annual leave and compensatory leave, and sick leave if the employee is absent for illness, must be used before going on leave without pay - such other leave cannot be "saved" until return from leave without pay.

Annual or sick leave are not earned while on leave without pay.

Any employee returning from leave of absence without pay during, or at the end of, the period for which the leave was granted shall be entitled to reinstatement under the conditions provided elsewhere in these rules. If an employee fails to return to work at the end of the period for which leave was granted, he shall be treated as having resigned.
