I did a quick search in the production rulebook. The only thing that comes up is the index at the end that says, "Maternity Leave (See Disability Leave)." After that, there is no specific wording other than generic disability leave, which could occur at any point, whether caused by an accident or other. There is an added tidbit of info "Actors on Term contracts will be eligible to request a leave under this provision only if at least nine weeks remain on their contract on the first day of disability." Also, "During the term of disability, the Actor shall not be entitled to any salary for the time during which services are not rendered."
My guess is there are further stipulations for individual contracts/best practices, but that it's a touchy subject. Anyone else have insight? Note, it's not mentioned in the index for the LORT contract.
