on “leave without pay.” Team members will be required to complete a “Leave of Absence Benefit Continuation” form. You will receive specific instructions about making such contributions. 3. Team members who become more than 30 days delinquent in their benefit payments will be dropped from coverage. Coverage will be restored upon their return to work within the time frame established in FMLA. 4. If you do not return to work following Family and Medical Leave for a reason other than (1) the continuation, recurrence, or onset of a serious health condition of the team member or the team member’s family member; (2) the serious injury or illness of a covered service member; or (3) other circumstances beyond your control, you may be required to reimburse us for our share of health insurance premiums paid on your behalf during your Family and Medical Leave.

Returning to Work: Except as provided below, HHHunt will return team members to the same or an equivalent position and benefits if the team member returns to work after the leave. However, a team member has no greater right to restoration or to other benefits than if the team member had been continuously employed during the leave period. “Equivalent position” is defined as one with the same pay, benefits, working conditions, and status held prior to the leave. HHHunt requires you to inform us of your intent to return to work at least two days prior to the date you intend to return to work. Prior to returning to work, the team member must present a fitness-for-duty certificate. Team members who do not return to work upon the expiration of their Family and Medical Leave will be separated from employment except for situations governed by the Americans with Disabilities Act, workers’ compensation law or other applicable state law, which will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Team members who are salaried and in the top ten percent (10%) highest paid team members at HHHunt are not guaranteed job restoration if it would cause substantial and grievous economic injury to HHHunt’s operation. The determination of the ten percent (10%) highest paid team members will consider all earnings.
