45th Calendar Day Management will be permitted to replace routes of employees who are on leave of absence longer than 45 days. The ability to replace routes of employees on a leave of absence longer than 45 days does not affect position protection which is 90 days. Position is defined as an employee’s same job (i.e., Courier), same shift, and same work location.
90th Calendar Day At the end of 90 calendar days and exhaustion of available FMLA and/or state or local law protecting the employee’s absence, the employee’s manager may replace or eliminate the position of the employee on leave. If your position is replaced or eliminated, you will be reassigned to your HCMP Professional for administrative purposes until resolution of your leave of absence. If your position is no longer available and you are then released to return to work (other than TRW), you will be given opportunity to submit unlimited JCA’s, for 90 calendar days or the remainder of your leave, whichever is less. You will receive preferential placement for lateral or lower level positions which you are qualified to perform with or without reasonable accommodation. If you have not accepted a job by the expiration of this period, your employment will be terminated.
