The document outlines the Employee Medical and Non-Medical Leave Policy for Bobodzhanov & Co LLC operating as barre3 Eagle and Boise. It applies to any leave longer than two weeks and sets expectations for advance notice, the procedural steps for requesting leave, and the need for coverage planning approved by operations management. Upon return, the policy clarifies that employees are not guaranteed reinstatement to their previous schedule, especially if new hires occurred during the absence. Specific provisions address instructors, requiring them to maintain proficiency through subbing, and mandating retraining or recertification after 90 days (or a full home‑office recertification after 12 months). Training costs are the employee’s responsibility. The policy also emphasizes confidentiality of medical and personal information and pledges support throughout the leave process, aiming to balance employee well‑being with operational effectiveness.
