Any employee of the Village who is mentally or physically unable
to perform his duties in a satisfactory manner and has exhausted his
sick leave and vacation benefits as heretofore noted may, upon written
request of his attending physician and with the approval of the Mayor
and/or applicable committee chairman, be granted a leave of absence
without pay not to exceed one year. Such leave will be granted only
when it is deemed to be in the best interest of the Village. The Village
may cancel such a leave of absence at any time upon written notice
to the employee by the Village Clerk specifying a reasonable date
of termination of this leave.
It shall be the obligation of the employee on leave of absence
without pay for reasons noted herein to furnish the Village Clerk
with written monthly reports from the attending physician as to his
mental or physical condition.
An employee while on approved leave of absence without pay shall
not be entitled to an addition of seniority, but shall retain his
accumulated seniority.
