Break in Service No absence under any paid leave provisions of this Article shall be considered as a break in service for any employee who is in paid status, and all benefits accruing under the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to accrue under such absence.
Breaks in Service An employee’s seniority record shall be broken by voluntary resignation, discharge, reduction in force, and retirement. Should an employee laid off return to work within one year, the seniority will pick up from the date of his/her return. Seniority rights will be forfeited if the continuous period of lay off exceeds one year. An employee who is absent from work for three consecutive work days without notification for valid reason to the Employer will be considered having resigned. Should an employee leave the unit represented by the Union, the employee’s seniority will be frozen. Should he/she return to the unit, his/her seniority shall continue from the seniority level previously attained.
Breaks in Seniority Seniority shall be broken only by resignation, termination, retirement, discharge for just cause, failure to return upon expiration of a leave of absence, or failure to respond to a recall from layoff. Each of the above actions applies to separation from the State of Minnesota.
