Leaves of absence without pay may be granted to eligible employees in order to maintain continuity of service in instances where unusual or unavoidable circumstances require prolonged absence. The circumstances and the length of absence will be determined by the Joy of Cleaning FL LLC policy in effect at the time the leave is requested. Failure to return from leave on or before the date scheduled may cause for Joy of Cleaning FL LLC to assume that you do not intend to return to work and may be considered a voluntary termination for job abandonment.
Any absence exceeding 14 calendar days will be considered a leave of absence. An exception to this will occur when the leave of absence is caused by an illness, accident or personal reason that will most likely keep you off work for a period of time longer than 14 days. In this event, the leave of absence will begin on the first day of absence. Employees requesting a leave of absence of any type must get prior approval, if possible, from their supervisor or manager.
Employees are not eligible for Paid Time Off (PTO) accrual while on leave of absence. Additionally, employees are not eligible for merit reviews or pay rate increases while on leave of absence. An employee, who would normally be eligible for a performance and merit review but is on a leave of absence at the time of a review period and who returns to work within a 30-day period, will receive a performance and merit review upon returning to work.
An employee on leave of absence must contact the company at least bi-weekly to give an update of your status.
If you are on a disability or medical disability leave of absence, you must return to work when your physician or a company-appointed physician determines that you are able to resume normal duties. We require your physician’s release before reinstatement to the active payroll. If you wish to extend your leave beyond this point, you must apply for a Personal Leave of Absence.
An employee on a personal leave of absence for more than ninety (90) days will be removed from Joy of Cleaning FL LLC payroll.
