646 IAC 5-8-2 Leave of absence

Sec. 2. (a) Where an individual takes a voluntary leave of absence, with the consent of the employer, it shall not constitute voluntarily leaving work without good cause within the meaning of IC 22-4-15-1. However, no benefit or waiting period weeks may be accumulated during that period, unless the individual terminates the leave of absence by notifying the employer and becomes available for work. (b) A voluntary leave of absence granted to an individual by an employer pursuant to the employer's rule or pursuant to terms of a collective bargaining agreement shall be deemed terminated on the day when the individual again becomes mentally and physically able to work and available for work and establishes the individual's ability to work and availability for work.
