Available Paid Leave. Leave taken under FMLA is generally unpaid leave. If the employee has any accrued paid leave available (such as paid vacation, sick leave, etc.) that would apply to the absence, the employee must use that leave, and the amount paid leave used up will be counted against the employee’s FMLA entitlement. Office of Catholic Schools (continued on the next page) Catholic Diocese of Columbus 4152.4 (cont’d) ELEMENTARY SECONDARY BOTH POLICY REGULATION PERSONNEL Leave may be taken on a continuous basis (that is, a certain number of days or weeks in a row). Additionally, when medically necessary, for leaves involving serious health conditions or care for a servicemember’s injury or illness, leave may also be taken on an intermittent basis (that is, leave taken in separate blocks of time due to a single qualifying reason), or on a reduced schedule basis (that is, a leave schedule that reduces the usual number of hours per workweek or hours per day). An employee requesting intermittent leave or leave on a reduced schedule must fulfil all of the obligations that are described in this statement (for example, the advance notice requirements, request for leave of absence forms, medical certification, etc.). The employee must also advise the Diocese of the reasons why the intermittent/reduced schedule is necessary and of the schedule for treatment, if applicable. The employee and the Diocese must then attempt to work out a schedule which meets the employee’s needs without unduly disrupting the Diocese’s operations, subject to the approval of the health care provider. Likewise, whenever the employee requests leave for planned medical treatment (whether on an intermittent reduced schedule or continuous basis), the employee must consult with the Diocese and make a reasonable effort to schedule the leave so as not to disrupt unduly the Diocese’s operations, subject to the approval of the health care provided. Employees are ordinarily expected to consult with the diocese prior to scheduling treatment in order to work out a treatment schedule which best meets the needs of both the Diocese and the employee.
