• On the date the person accepts or begins employment outside the Firm, in the Firm’s discretion; • 30 days after the person’s doctor releases him/her to return to work (with or without reasonable accommodation), but the person does not return within that 30-day period; • After 12 months of leave within a consecutive 18-month period; • Immediately following a failure to return from an approved personal leave of absence. The term “Firm Personnel” shall mean each person employed by Venable in any capacity, including legal, professional staff or other, excluding Equity Partner. The Firm reserves the right and discretion to administer and interpret this policy and to determine all questions regarding its applicability in any circumstance. This policy does not modify the Firm’s non-medical leave of absence policy. Insurance. If you are on a leave of absence and are receiving income benefits from Venable, coverage under Venable’s insurance plans will continue at no added expense to you. Income benefits include paid sick and PTO leave, as well as short-term disability benefits. If your income benefits cease, please contact our Benefits Department at benefits@venable.com to coordinate health benefit premium payments. Failure to pay monthly health benefit premiums may result in termination of benefits coverage.

Length of Service. A leave of absence will not affect your length of service with Venable.
