(a) Leave of absence; duration.
(1) A permanent employee,
or an employee holding a position by permanent or temporary appointment who
requests leave because of pregnancy or childbirth, may, in the discretion of
the department, be granted a leave of absence, without pay, for a period not
exceeding two years. Such leave may be extended beyond two years, for periods
aggregating not in excess of an additional two years, only with the approval of
the Civil Service Commission. In an exceptional case, a further extension may
be permitted by the commission for good cause shown and where the interests of
the government would be served. For the purposes of this section, time spent in
active service in the military forces of the United States or of the State of
New York shall not be considered in computing the period of leave.
(2) This subdivision shall not be construed
to require the extension of any employment beyond the time at which it would
otherwise terminate by operation of law, rule or regulation.
(b) Successive leaves of absence. Where a leave of absence without pay has been granted for a period which aggregates two years, or more if extended pursuant to subdivision (a) of this section, a further leave of absence without pay shall not be granted unless the employee returns to his/her position and serves continuously therein for six months immediately preceding the subsequent leave of absence.
