will be returned to the position the employee would be in, had the
employee not been on a leave of absence.

by such leave of absence and the employee' s seniority will accrue.
13 . 5 If an employee fails to return immediately on the expiration
of the employee ' s leave of absence or if the employee accepts other
full- time employment while on leave, the employee will thereby forfeit
the leave of absence and terminate the employee ' s employment with the
City.
13 . 6 An employee on a leave of absence as provided herein shall not
accrue vacation or sick leave benefits nor maintain group insurance
coverage. An employee may, however, at the employee � s option and
expense, maintain the employee' s group insurance coverage providing the
full monthly premium is received in the Finance Department of the City
on or before the first day of the month for which the premium is
intended. Notwithstanding the above, however, if the leave of absence
is as a result of exhaustion of sick leave benefits an employee' s group
insurance may be maintained for up to three (3) calendar months on the
normal premium-sharing formula, providing the employee pays the
employee' s share of the premium on a timely basis .
