§ 82-478. Status of position while on leave of absence  


Latest version.
  • (a) A position will be held open for an employee during an authorized leave of absence; however, if the position is eliminated due to a reduction in force or other significant business reasons, the county cannot guarantee reinstatement at the end of the leave period.

    (b) A leave of absence, paid or unpaid, as well as any and all unpaid time, will not be counted as time worked for purposes of merit increases, step increases, promotional increases, etc. This provision also applies to employees who are on workers' compensation and/or 52e. However, if the county makes salary/benefit modifications to all employees or to employees in the injured or absent employee's specific job category, then the employee may be impacted by these changes, if all specified requirements are met.
