COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT Between NEW YORK UNIVERSITY And LOCAL 810 I.B.T
July 1, 2002-June 30, 2007

ARTICLE 36 - LEAVE OF ABSENCE

A. Personal Leave
On reasonable written notice to the Employer, setting forth good personal reason, employees having three (3) years or more of plant seniority shall be granted one (1) unpaid personal leave of absence not to exceed three (3) months; such leave may be extended by the Employer. Seniority shall accumulate during the first and initial leave in the term of the Agreement, but shall not accumulate during any extension.

B. Sick Leave
A regular, full-time employee with at least one (1) year of continuous service and who has exhausted accumulated sick pay will be granted a leave of absence without pay not to exceed three (3) months in case of bona fide illness or injury upon appropriate medical certification. Unpaid sick leave, under the conditions described above, of up to twelve weeks duration may be taken in each rolling twelve month period, i.e. an employee's eligibility would be measured by computing the amount of leave taken in the preceding twelve months. A request for a three month renewal supported by appropriate medical certification will not be unreasonably denied. For employees with ten (10) or more consecutive years of service, a request for up to an additional six (6) months supported by appropriate medical certification will not be unreasonably denied.
