  • Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA In accordance with the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) of 1993, the Board will grant a leave of absence for one or more of the following: 1. Because of the birth of a son or daughter of the employee, and in order to care for such son or daughter; 2. Because of the placement of a son or daughter with the employee for adoption or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ care; 3. To care for the employee's spouse, son or daughter, or par- ent, in laws or members of blended families or other per- sons in a similar relationship that live in the family house- hold or are in a similar family relationship who has a serious health condition; or, 4. The employee is unable to perform the essential job func- tions because of a serious health condition. As of February 2008, an employee who is the spouse, son, daughter, parent or the next of kin of a covered service mem- ber can take up to 26 weeks of FMLA leave during a single twelve (12) month period to care for the injured service mem- ber. The same eligibility requirements apply for employees requesting a leave under this category. Regulations as estab- lished by the Department of Labor will be followed when granting leaves under this provision. FMLA leaves are only available to employees who have been employed by the District for at least twelve (12) months and have worked 1,250 hours during the previous twelve (12) month period. Such leaves are counted against an employee's annual FMLA leave entitlement. Under the FMLA, an employee is eligible for a total of twelve (12) work weeks of leave in a twelve (12) month period. This twelve (12) month period is measured back from the date a requested leave is to begin. Continuation of medical, optical and dental benefits and the right to job restoration ceases when an employee has used twelve (12) work weeks of FMLA leave in the twelve (12) month period. (See Section B, Medical Leave of Absence). An employee requesting a FMLA leave must provide the ▇▇▇▇▇- ▇▇▇▇ Superintendent of Human Resources at least thirty (30) days advance notice of when the leave is to begin. If such no- ▇▇▇▇ is not practicable, then notice is to be provided as soon as practicable. When a leave denoted as (1) or (2) above is granted, the leave must be taken in one (1) continuous increment, and must be concluded within twelve (12) months of the date of birth or placement. Employees granted such leave must utilize accu- mulated vacation days and accumulated personal business days (in that order), after which time the leave is unpaid. When a leave denoted as (3) above is granted, the employee must utilize accumulated sick leave time, accumulated vacation days, and accumulated personal business days (in that order), after which time the leave is unpaid. When a leave denoted as (4) above is granted, the employee must utilize accumulated sick leave days and accumulated per- ▇▇▇▇▇ business days (in that order), after which time the leave is unpaid. After these days have been used and if more sick time is needed, the employee may choose to use accumulated vacation time. When additional time is needed during the 90 calendar day (13 week) LTD elimination period, the employee may use available vacation days. If the employee has pur- chased and is filing for short term disability, vacation days may be used during the 14 day elimination period. Vacation days cannot be used once the short term disability coverage starts. Leaves denoted as (3) or (4) above must be supported by med- ical certification from a health care provider stating (1) the date on which the serious health condition commenced, (2) the probable duration of the condition, (3) the appropriate medical facts, and (4) a statement that the employee is unable to per- form the essential functions of his/her position, or that the em- ployee is needed to care for the person. The District reserves the right to require the employee to obtain the opinion of a sec- ond health care provider designated or approved by the District concerning any information within the medical certification. When a FMLA leave denoted as (1) or (2) above is granted to spouses who are both employed by the District, the total amount of time on leave (in total for both employees) cannot exceed twelve (12) weeks of FMLA time. At the expiration of a medical leave or if the employee wishes to return to work before completion of the leave, there must be a physician's certification confirming his/her fitness to return to work. The District may condition the employee's return to work upon a fitness for duty examination and approval by a health care provider designated by the District. The District will continue to provide an employee's medical, optical and dental insurance while he/she is on a FMLA leave for a period of up to twelve (12) weeks on the same terms and conditions as prior to the leave. An employee on a FMLA leave shall not engage in any outside or supplemental employment. The District may recover insurance premiums paid while an employee was on an unpaid FMLA leave if: 1. The employee fails to return to work for at least thirty (30) days after the expiration of the leave; and 2. The failure to return is for a reason other than a serious health condition, or other circumstances beyond the control of the employee. Certification from the health care provider may be required for this purpose. An employee returning from a FMLA leave will be restored to the position he/she left, or to an equivalent position with equiv- alent benefits, pay and other terms and conditions of employ- ment. If the employee has not satisfactorily completed the probation- ary period at the commencement of a FMLA leave, then upon cessation of the leave, the employee must work the days need- ed to complete the probationary period.

(b) Family and Medical Leave may be taken by employees who are temporarily unable to work due to: (1) birth of a child where the employee is needed to care for such newborn [child care leave, see Section 10.06 above]; (2) placement of a child with the employee for adoption or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ care [adoption leave, see, Section 10.07]; (3) the need for the employee to care for a spouse, son, daughter or parent with a serious health condition [family care leave]; or (4) serious health conditions of the employee, as defined by the U.S. Department of Labor's Regulations, that make the employee unable to perform essential functions of his/her job (with or without reasonable accommodations for the disability, if such is required) [employee disability leave]. (c) Child Care Leave and Adoption Leave taken under this section as Family and Medical Leave may commence at any time during the one (1) year period following the date of birth or date of placement for adoption. (d) No more than twelve (12) weeks of Family and Medical Leave, as such, will be granted in any twelve (12) month period commencing with the first day of usage. (e) Where the necessity for this leave is foreseeable, the employee must give notice by requesting this Leave, in writing, at least thirty (30) days prior to the onset of the leave. Such written notice shall be filed with the Superintendent. In those situations where the employee is unable to give this thirty (30) day notice, notice of the request for the leave must be given at the earliest time possible, considering all the circumstances present. When "family care leave" or "employee disability leave" is foreseeable, based on planned medical treatment, the employee should try to schedule such planned medical treatment during non-assigned duty time. (f) Requests for "family care leave" must be supported by a health care provider certification verifying that a serious health condition exists and that the employee is needed to care for the family member and the estimated time needed for such care. Requests for "employee disability leave" must be supported by a health care provider certification verifying that a serious health condition exists and a statement that the employee is unable to perform the essential functions of his/her position. Requests for "intermittent or reduced schedule family care leave" or "reduced schedule employee disability leave" must be further supported by medical certification as to the necessity and expected duration of the leave; and, for planned medical treatments, the dates and duration of each treatment. (g) Employees covered by the medical insurance program set forth in Article XIII, Section 13.09, at the onset of a leave secured under this section may continue to participate in the program during the leave on the same terms and conditions that would have applied had no leave been taken. The premium portion payable by the employee, if any, is due on the first day of the month. (h) Except as specifically required by other provisions of this AGREEMENT with respect to any other type of leave taken concurrently with leave taken under this Section, no other employment benefits accrue during a family and medical leave and no other paid leave benefits (e.g., holiday pay) will be paid if such occur during a family and medical leave. The length of service of an employee on an approved family medical leave of absence shall not be broken, and the time spent on such leave shall be counted as continuous service. (i) Where there is medical necessity for "intermittent leave" or "reduced schedule leave" or "family care leave" or "employee disability leave, such are available, subject to agreement between the BOARD and the employee. However, the BOARD may require the employee to transfer for the duration of the leave to an equivalent position that better accommodates the proposed intermittent or reduced leave schedule, if such a position exists within the employee's classification. Employees on an intermittent or reduced leave schedule will have their salaries and/or hourly pay reduced to reflect the hours or days missed due to such leave unless paid leave (e.g., sick pay) is otherwise payable for time off work while on Family and Medical Leave pursuant to other provisions of this AGREEMENT. (j) Employees with accrued but unused personal days or sick leave days must use such paid leave first as part of any "family care leave" and/or "employee disability leave" taken under this Section. A request to use Family and Medical Leave under this Section shall also be deemed a request to take any paid leave (e.g., sick leave, personal days) the employee is eligible to take. Approval to take Family and Medical Leave also constitutes approval to take such other leave. (k) Employees who apply for and take a leave of absence under other sections of this Article (e.g., sick leave, medical/disability leave, child care leave or adoption leave), which leave is for a reason for which the employee would also be eligible or Family and Medical Leave under this Section and/or the Family and Medical Leave Act, shall also be deemed to be on Family and Medical Leave under this Section and shall be so notified by the Treasurer's office. (l) When returning from a leave under this Section, the employee will be placed in the same position that he/she held before taking this leave. If the employee was transferred to accommodate an intermittent leave or reduced hours leave, the employee will be returned to the position he/she held before being transferred for accommodation of the intermittent leave or reduced hours leave. If family and medical leave is taken in conjunction with child care leave, as provided for in Section 10.06 above, or adoption leave as provided for in Section 10.07 above, or medical/disability leave as provided in Section 10.03 above, the provisions of Section 10.06, 10.07 or 10.03, whichever is applicable, shall govern the return to work conditions for the employee. (m) The provisions of Section 10.01(g) and 10.03(c) shall also be applicable to the return of an employee from "Employee Disability Leave" granted under this Section. (n) In the event the Family and Medical Leave Act is repealed, this Section shall be null and void and of no further force and effect.
