Leave Periods. Leave taken by an employee for the birth or placement of a child must be taken in one twelve-week segment and must be taken within 12 months of the birth or placement of the child. In the case of a previously designated domestic partner, FML may only be taken once for the birth or adoption of the same child, not both. Leave taken to attend to the serious health condition of the employee or the employee's family member may be taken in one twelve-week segment, or may be taken on an intermittent or reduced leave schedule if medically necessary. The employee must make a reasonable effort to schedule his or her leave so as not to unduly interrupt District operations and must give 30-days notice of his or her intent to take leave, if practicable. If an employee chooses to take intermittent or reduced leave, the District may require the employee to temporarily transfer to another position or shift for which the employee is qualified, and which would provide equivalent pay and benefits and a better accommodation for the employee's recurring periods of leave. FML will be limited to a combined total of 12 weeks in a 12 month rolling period by spouses or previously designated domestic partners who both work for the District, if leave is taken for the birth, adoption or placement for xxxxxx care of a child or care of a parent with a serious health condition.
