INTERMITTENT LEAVE/REDUCED LEAVE SCHEDULE. An employee who qualifies for Family Leave may take the leave as intermittent leave or on a reduced schedule but only if it is medically necessary. If an employee is taking Family Leave due to the serious illness of a family member, the employee may take intermittent leave or reduced schedule leave to provide care or psychological comfort to the family member. Employees must attempt to schedule the intermittent leave or reduced schedule leave so it does not disrupt the State’s operations. The State may assign the employee to an alternative position within the same agency/department/work location for which the employee is qualified with equivalent pay and benefits to better accommodate the requested leave. If the State assigns the employee to an alternative position, once the need for the intermittent or reduced leave schedule is ended, the State will place the employee in a position which is the same or equivalent to the employee’s position at the time the leave began. If the position is an equivalent position it will be within the same agency/department/work location as the employee’s position at the time the leave began. When an employee is granted Parental Leave after the birth or placement of a child, the State, in its discretion, may grant the employee’s request for intermittent leave or reduced schedule leave. However, if the mother has a serious illness in relation to the birth of a newborn then the provisions for intermittent leave/reduced schedule leave for Family Leave are applicable. If the newborn has a serious illness, then the provisions for intermittent leave/reduced schedule leave for Family Leave are applicable to either parent. Prior to the birth of a child, a pregnant employee can take intermittent leave for prenatal exams or for her own medical condition, (e.g., severe morning sickness.)
