Parental Leave and Family Leave. The District acknowledges the provisions of the Oregon Family Medical Leave Act (OFLA) and the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Parental leave will be administered according to federal and state statute and District policy. Any accrued sick leave shall be used first and shall run concurrently with any granted OFLA and/or FMLA leave. The member shall notify the Superintendent/Principal in writing of the desire to take leave, and except in cases of emergency, shall give such notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the date the leave is to begin. The District will communicate to members about the process for taking OFLA and/or FMLA leave. District insurance contributions will be provided for as per OFLA and/or FMLA guidelines. The member may remain enrolled in an OEBB medical insurance plan under the established guidelines of OFLA and/or FMLA and OEBB.
Parental Leave and Family Leave. 1. Parental leave and family leave will be granted to faculty members or librarians, with notice to the Xxxx and the Xxxxxxx or Xxxx of Libraries as provided below, for a period of not more than two (2) semesters plus Wintersession. The faculty member or librarian shall give at least thirty (30) days notice of the intended date upon which the parental leave or family leave shall commence and terminate if the need is foreseeable based on an expected birth or placement of a child or planned medical treatment. If thirty (30) days is not practicable because of a lack of knowledge of approximately when the leave will be required to begin, a change in circumstances, or a medical emergency, notice must be given as soon as practicable. Parental leave or family leave shall be without pay; provided, however, that accrued, paid leave which is otherwise available to the faculty member or librarian under the circumstances may be used. (The use of such paid leave shall not extend the duration of the leave entitlement pursuant to this provision.) During any parental leave or family leave, the College will maintain the faculty member’s or librarian’s health insurance under the same terms and conditions as if the faculty member or librarian had not taken leave. If the faculty member or librarian fails to return to work following the leave except because of a recurrence, continuation, or onset of a serious health condition which would have otherwise entitled the faculty member or librarian to leave or because of other circumstances beyond their control, the College shall be entitled to recover from him or her the cost of the health insurance coverage maintained during the leave.
Parental Leave and Family Leave. Employees may take family medical or parental leave as provided under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA-CFR Part 825) and under the state of Oregon Family Leave Act (OFLA)(ORS 659.470 to 659.494). Employee eligibility for FMLA and OFLA leave is determined under the provisions of these acts. Employees should refer to Agency policy or contact Human Resources to learn about current FMLA/OFLA regulations.
