Such deductions shall be made in compliance with Chapter 233 P.L. 1969 (N.J.S. 52:14-15.9e) and under applicable rules established by the State Department of Education.

Therefore, some payments to an employee may be delayed beyond the current parameters.
5. In addition to these agreements between the Board and the Association, the parties are bound by bank rules with respect to direct deposit. If the District’s bank changes, the parties are bound by the new bank’s rules.

The District is not responsible for charges assessed to an employee resulting from errors in bank transmission, for the employee’s premature withdrawals of funds, or for any charges that an employee’s bank may apply to such direct deposit services.
7. The employee will be permitted one bank change during the July 1 through June 30 period in any year.
ARTICLE 10
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

B. If any provision of this Agreement or any application of this Agreement to any employee or group of employees is held to be contrary to law, then such provision or application shall not be deemed valid and subsisting, except to the extent permitted by law, but all other provisions or applications shall continue in full force and effect.

2. When the seeking of an extended leave of absence for medical disability can be anticipated, a teacher shall file a written request for such leave with the Superintendent within seven (7) calendar days from the time the teacher knew of the necessity of taking the medical disability leave. Said request shall indicate the anticipated date on which the said leave is to terminate (if able to ascertain within reason). Written request shall indicate the anticipated plans of the teacher upon termination of the medical disability leave as to him/her returning to work, resigning, retiring, or applying for another type of leave.
3. The Board need not grant or extend the leave of absence of any non-tenured teacher beyond the end of the contract school year in which the leave is obtained. A teacher returning from a medical disability leave shall be entitled to all benefits to which said teacher was entitled at the time leave commenced.
4. No teacher shall be barred from returning to work after a medical disability leave on the grounds that not enough time has elapsed during the recovery time. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall be construed to preclude the Board from requiring any teacher to produce a certificate from a physician showing that said teacher is capable of teaching, provided that if the Board's physician is in disagreement, that conflict of medical opinion shall be resolved in the same manner as is set out in paragraph A-1-b-(3), of this Article.
5. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to require the Board to grant tenure to any non-tenured teacher who would not have been granted tenure in the absence of this provision or to offer a new contract for a new school year to any non-tenured teacher who would not have been offered such a contract in the absence of this provision.
B. A tenured teacher may make application to the Board for a child rearing leave of absence without pay for a period of up to one (1) year. Said application shall be made to the Superintendent at least ninety (90) calendar days prior to the commencement of the child rearing leave. If a tenured teacher has been on childcare leave for less than one year, a one-year extension will be granted upon request, and he/she must then return on the second September following commencement of the leave.
C. The exact dates of medical disability and/or child rearing leaves will be arranged in consideration of both need and administrative feasibility. The Board reserves the right to regulate the commencement and termination dates of such leaves in order to preserve educational continuity.
D. A leave of absence without pay of up to one (1) year may be granted for the purpose of caring for a sick member of a tenured teacher's immediate family. Additional leave may be granted at the discretion of the Board.
E. Upon return from extended leave granted pursuant to Sections, A, B, or D of this Article, a teacher whose unpaid leave began after teaching two complete marking periods (or 92 days) shall be placed on the salary schedule at the next higher level than that at which he/she was when he began the leave.
F. All benefits to which a teacher was entitled at the time his leave of absence commenced, including unused accumulated sick leave, shall be restored to him upon his return.
G. All extensions or renewals of leaves may be applied for and granted in writing. Requests for extensions are to be made to the Superintendent at least sixty (60) days prior to the beginning of the extension. Extensions and renewals may be granted at the discretion of the Board.
