Family Medical and Leave Act a. The District is covered by the provisions of the Federal Family Medical and Leave Act (FMLA) and the California Family Rights Act (CFRA). Unit members eligible under such Acts and for Paid Family Leave in accordance with the provisions of SB1661 shall be provided the rights and benefits mandated by such Acts. In accordance with such Acts, the District may require an eligible employee to supply the appropriate medical certification and additional medical opinions.
Family Medical and Leave Act. The Employer and the Union agree to comply with the provisions of the Family and Medical Leave Act. Both parties agree that as the Act applies to a serious health condition that makes the employee unable to perform the employee's duties, an employee shall have the option to either use accumulated vacation, sick or personal time or, if appropriate, the short and/or long term disability insurance provided by the Employer. Further, it is understood that with regard to other provisions of the Act, the Employer and Union agree that the employee may utilize accumulated vacation, sick or personal time.
Family Medical and Leave Act. Qualifying Reasons and Length of FMLA and Military Family Leave. Under FMLA, eligible employees may take up to twelve (12) work weeks of job-protected, unpaid leave, or substitute appropriate paid leave if the employee has earned or accrued it, for the following reasons:
Family Medical and Leave Act. Where this Article provides rights greater than those provided for under FMLA, this Article governs. Where FMLA provides rights greater than those provided in other sections of this Article, FMLA governs. The rights provided in the Article shall not be added to those provided by FMLA to produce greater rights than an employee would have under either this Article or FMLA standing alone; there shall be no duplication of rights. The FMLA governs instead of the Article, all of the requirements for a leave under FMLA must be met by the employee. Where this Article governs, only the requirements set forth in this Article, and not those in FMLA, must be met by the employee.
Family Medical and Leave Act. A. Upon proper and timely application, an eligible employee will be granted a qualified leave of absence as required under the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (29 USC 2601) and Employer policy, for a total period of up to twelve (12) weeks per year. A rolling twelve month period will be utilized in all cases by the Employer in assessing the amount of time an eligible employee has available for qualified leaves under the Act. The Employer may require an employee to utilize available paid leave time (e.g., sick leave, etc.) and such time will be utilized in computing available time off under the Act. In general, intermittent and reduced schedules will not be approved absent mutual agreement between the employee and the Employer. Proper consideration when medically necessary will be given as required by law in such instances and alternate assignment(s) may be instituted by the Employer. In the event an employee and his/her spouse are employed by the district, whether within or outside of the bargaining unit, an aggregate of twelve (12) weeks will be provided, unless the leave time is attributable to a serious health condition that makes the employee unable to perform the functions of his/her position. In such instances, the total amount of time for each spouse will not exceed twelve (12) weeks for all leaves covered by the Act. Insurance benefit payments will continue for an employee absent on a qualified leave under this section. Employees returning from such leaves will be returned to the same or an equivalent position. In the event this Article or other portions of this Agreement extend greater benefits to an eligible employee in relationship to qualified leaves, the provisions of the Agreement shall prevail.
