141. A senior administrator who receives severance pay under section 134 may choose to replace it with paid leave. The duration of the leave shall be the number of months obtained by applying the first paragraph of section 136. However, if the senior administrator has received flat dollar amounts as attraction and retention allowances provided for under sections 40.2 and 161, the duration of the leave with pay will be reduced proportionate to the flat dollar amounts received in this respect. The paid leave shall cease if the senior administrator obtains another position in the public or parapublic sector. In such a case, sections 134 and 138 shall apply.
During the paid leave, the senior administrator shall maintain his status as a senior managerial advisor. Vacation time accumulated during the paid leave is deemed to have been taken. The senior administrator shall not benefit from the salary insurance plans. If the senior administrator becomes disabled during this period, he shall continue to receive the salary corresponding to the severance pay to which he would have been entitled until it is exhausted.
A senior administrator is deemed to have resigned on the date on which his leave expires.
