RELATED LEAVE Clause Samples

RELATED LEAVE. An Employee shall be entitled to up to five (5) days of leave pay in each fiscal year to be granted on the recommendation of the Employer as follows and charged against the Employee’s leave credits:

RELATED LEAVE. The District agrees to work with an employee, as required by law and the collective bargaining agreement, for taking time needed to comply with a medical professional’s recommendations, including to self-quarantine, secure one’s own health, or secure the health of one’s household during the COVID-19 crisis. In the event a CSEA bargaining-unit employee is exposed to coronavirus or is taken ill with coronavirus or wishes to self-quarantine for reasonable cause (i.e. family members who are uniquely vulnerable), the employee may use available leaves for which they are eligible, without fear of reprisal. Subject to Executive Orders, current law, regulations and guidance, the employee may access leave under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (“HR 6201”) to comply with a medical professional’s recommendations, including to self-quarantine, secure one’s own health, or secure the health of one’s household during the COVID-19 crisis. Employees with dependent-care needs may access leave pursuant to HR 6201. When an employee is not permitted to work due to safety screening (e.g., high temperature or positive report of key symptom), the employee may access leave under HR 6201 and/or the collective bargaining agreement. The District agrees to reasonably accommodate, as required under the Americans with Disabilities Act, support staff who are at higher risk for severe illness (medical conditions that the CDPH says may have increased risks) through the interactive process which may include, among other things, options such as telework or negotiated change in classification or duties. The District may work with the employee to develop a paid and/or unpaid flexible leave plan through the interactive process if that leave plan would be an appropriate and reasonable accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The parties recognize that the Federal “Families First Coronavirus Response Act,” also known as HR 6201, provides most employees with two weeks of paid leave for coronavirus-related absences, and extends Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) leave. Specifically, HR 6201 provides as follows, became effective 4/2/20, and ends on 12/31/20: a.80 hours of paid sick leave for full-time employees (pro rata for part-time) at the employee’s regular rate of pay (up to $511 per day and $5,110 in total) if:

RELATED LEAVE a. No Symptoms - An employee who is required to quarantine, or care for someone who is required to quarantine, but that employee is not symptomatic will work remotely. While a doctor’s note releasing a staff member to return to work is preferred, the District understands that this may not be possible in all situations. Staff members who complete a fourteen-day quarantine and remain free of COVID-19 symptoms or have a doctor’s note clearing them to work may return to the buildings. In the event that the staff member has an exposure through work, the District will reimburse any costs for COVID-19 testing.
