For employees who do not return after the maximum twelve (12)
weeks of Family Medical Leave, employment may be terminated. The
Company recognizes that it may sometimes be necessary for an employee
to be out of work for more than 12 weeks to care for their own or a
family member’s illness. In the event you require an accommodation
to return to work and/or you are unable to return to work on the date
specified but you can return to work within a reasonable defined period of
time beyond the 12 week FMLA period, please contact Human Resources
in advance of your scheduled date of return to discuss. Due to the
demands of the business, we are unable to hold positions open for longer
than 12 weeks and we may be unable to return you to the same or similar
position if your leave extends beyond the 12 week FMLA period. If you
are released to return to work and request to do so, Human Resources
will assist you in expediting the rehire process.
Americans With Disabilities Act

The Company complies with the Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA) and applicable state and local laws providing for non-
discrimination in employment for qualified individuals with disabilities.
The Company provides reasonable accommodation for such individuals
in accordance with these laws. If you have a disability and need an
accommodation in order to permit you to do your job, you should contact
the Human Resources Department at 800-251-6291 x3534.
Military Leave

U.S. Xpress complies with all rights and conditions of the
Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of
1994 (USERRA). If you are called to active military or to Reserve or
National Guard training, or you volunteer for same, you must notify your
supervisor and submit copies of your military orders to your supervisor
and the Human Resources Department as soon as possible. You will be
granted military leave without pay for the period of military service in
accordance with federal and state laws. If you are a reservist or a member
of the National Guard, you are granted time off without pay for required
military training.

Employees on military leave for up to 30 days are required to return
to work for the first regularly scheduled shift after the end of service,
allowing reasonable travel time. Employees on longer military leave must
apply for reinstatement in accordance with USERRA and all applicable
state laws. Employees returning from military leave for up to 30 days
are placed in the position they would have attained had they remained
continuously employed or a comparable position.
