Maternity/Paternity Leave. Solely for purposes of determining whether the Employee incurs a Break in Service under any provision of this Plan, the Advisory Committee must credit Hours of Service during an Employee's unpaid absence period due to maternity or paternity leave. The Advisory Committee considers an Employee on maternity or paternity leave if the Employee's absence is due to the Employee's pregnancy, the birth of the Employee's child, the placement with the Employee of an adopted child, or the care of the Employee's child immediately following the child's birth or placement. The Advisory Committee credits Hours of Service under this paragraph on the basis of the number of Hours of Service the Employee would receive if he were paid during the absence period or, if the Advisory Committee cannot determine the number of Hours of Service the Employee would receive, on the basis of 8 hours per day during the absence period. The Advisory Committee will credit only the number (not exceeding 501) of Hours of Service necessary to prevent an Employee's Break in Service. The Advisory Committee credits all Hours of Service described in this paragraph to the computation period in which the absence period begins or, if the Employee does not need these Hours of Service to prevent a Break in Service in the computation period in which his absence period begins, the Advisory Committee credits these Hours of Service to the immediately following computation period.

Employees will use FMLA leave time at the beginning of the maternity/paternity leave and exhaust such FMLA leave time concurrently with their accrued leave. The type of leave used will be at the employee’s discretion, but the type will be designated in advance to Payroll. If the employee does not designate the leave usage in advance of using it, Payroll and/or the Supervisor will use leave in the following order: sick, compensatory, vacation, professional leave, then bonus leave for maternity/paternity leave purposes. All maternity/paternity leaves must be taken as one continuous leave period (unless special circumstances clearly show a legitimate need for broken periods of leave) with the leave without pay being the last to be designated. By the sixth month of pregnancy, employees should make an appointment with the Health Section, to develop a tentative plan for leave usage. Employees should submit a leave application request prior to taking leave to indicate the type of leave that will be utilized. The parties agree that the provisions of this contract provide employees with time off beyond that provided by the Family Medical Leave Act.

Under this contract, if husband and wife who both work for the Department and who both wish to take leave for the birth of a child, or adoption or placement of a child in xxxxxx care, they are each entitled to six months leave.

Written request for such leave of absence is to be submitted to the Principal and in his absence to the Superintendent, at least forty (40) days before the requested leave of absence is to begin.

If the teacher has few than thirty (30) available sick leave days, the teacher may choose to take the remainder of the six (6) week period as an uncompensated leave. If the birth, or adoption, of the child occurs over the summer break, the provisions will not be granted if the leave is set to expire prior to the first day of the school year. If the provision has not been expired over the summer break, then the teacher may use any/all of the residual days, beginning with the first day of the new school year and continuing consecutively. If the teacher is medically disabled, as verified by a physician’s statement, beyond the provisions cited here within, the teacher may use more of his/her available sick leave days to cover the time period of the disability.

The teacher granted such a leave will be returned to the same assignment or one that is comparable and equal in benefits as determined by the Administration.
