This would include the new language regarding stand-alone vision plans, the increase from $250 to $300 for Employer funded Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), and the salary change for employees who would qualify for FSAs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Article 39 \u2013 Resignation<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Employer proposed including a new subsection, <strong>39.2 Presumption of Resignation\/Abandonment<\/strong>. In this new subsection, the Employer proposed that if an employee failed to appear for work and failed to report absence for three consecutive scheduled workdays, they would be deemed to have resigned. In this section, within 14 calendar days of mailing the separation notice, an employee could submit a written petition for reinstatement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Article 49 \u2013 Salary Overpayment Recovery <\/strong><br \/>\nThe Employer proposed including language that would add clarity to the methods of payback in the cases of overpayment for active employees and separated employees.
