When yard or road employes are permitted to lay off they must not
be absent in excess of
30 days without a written leave of absence, except in
cases of sickness or injury. NOTE:
It is understood that in case of illness or
injury a leave of absence is not required; however,
if requested by the Carrier in writing, with
a copy to the local chairman, employes must furnish documentation
from their physician(s) giving
specifics of the illness or injury and the expected duration of
absence. If a dispute arises
as to the documentation, the seniority of the employe in question
will not be terminated during the

of sickness, injury, or committee work, unless approved
by the superintendent and local chairman. (c)
(2) Employes promoted to
positions with either Carrier
or the UTU will retain and accumulate seniority,
and no leave of absence will be required, so
long as they occupy such position. (d)
Employes on leave of absence who fail, without reasonable
excuse to report or duty at the expiration thereof,
will be considered out of service pending formal
investigation. (b)
