An employee absent from duty because of a disability which prevents the performance of the usual duties and responsibilities of his or her position and who has exhausted all sick leave, may be removed by the appointing authority upon certification to the director of Civil Service by such appointing authority that the interests of the service require that the duties of the position be carried on without further interruption provided all requirements of Family Medical Leave have been met. Such removal shall not disqualify the former employee for non–competitive re–employment as provided in Rule 8.18. Notice of such action shall be furnished to employee pursuant to the provisions of Rule 12.6.
