LEAVE OF ABSENCE POLICY
The policy shall be in accordance with state, federal and institutional
guidelines.
Residents may request and be granted a LOA (in circumstances discussed
below) for up to 12 weeks.
Types of LOA:
-
Self Care – Self care refers to a leave of absence for a serious health condition
which makes one unable to perform his/her job. Examples of self care leave
include pregnancy (with medical certification) and other serious health
conditions (also with medical certification). A resident in need of a
LOA for self care is entitled to 12 weeks of “job protection”
meaning that he/she is restored to his/her previous position without loss
of benefits.
-
Family Care – Family care refers to leaves of absence for the purpose of providing
care for a spouse, child or parent with a serious health condition. A
resident in need of a LOA for family care is entitled to 12 weeks of “job
protection.” Family care leave is unpaid; however PTO time may be used.
-
Child Care – Child care LOA refers to the birth or adoption of a child. A child
care leave must be taken at the time of the birth/adoption and comes with
12 weeks of job protection. Child care leave is unpaid; however, PTO time
may be used.
-
Personal – LOAs for reasons other than the above are not an entitlement. In
the event that a resident needs a personal LOA, he/she must make a written
request to the Program Director. Personal leave is unpaid.
Effects of LOA on completing the residency:
It is critical that a resident who is considering taking a LOA understand
the specific requirements of their specialty board with regard to the
length of time leading to board admissibility. In the event that a specialty
program or board requirements are more restrictive than the institutional
policy, the resident will need to satisfy the residency or board requirements
before completing the program (i.e., make up missed time.)
In the event that a resident misses more than 25 days per year, averaged
over the length of the residency (e.g., 75 days over a three-year program)
the resident will be required to extend the program to cover the time
missed. Exceptions to this requirement may be granted only with the support
of the program director and written approval of the resident’s specialty board.
ON-CALL ROOMS
Residents are provided “On-Call Rooms” for overnight duty.
It is the responsibility of the institution to maintain these rooms.
PARKING
Parking is provided free of charge to residents employed by Newark Beth
Israel Medical Center. Residents are strongly encouraged to park within
the secured lot at all times. A ten dollar ($10) refundable deposit is
necessary to obtain an access card.
UNIFORMS & LAUNDRY
The Medical Center will purchase for all incoming residents: 2 lab coats
and 2 pairs of scrubs. (These scrubs are for non-sterile areas only.)
The hospital is responsible for laundering these coats.
RESIDENT MEAL ALLOWANCE

per meal is $6.00.
