Absence beyond that designated time, be it for vacation or sick leave, will extend their time in training. There can be no accrual of sick leave from one year to the next; i.e., two weeks maximum sick leave are allowed per year.

All or a portion of the six weeks may be requested.

Benefits will be provided during the six weeks of maternity leave. Benefits may be continued beyond six weeks at the resident's expense.
