While on Unpaid Leaves Sample Clauses
While on Unpaid Leaves a. Due to prenatal absence for pregnancy complications: If a pregnant Employee is absent due to pregnancy complications, and in an unpaid status due to ineligibility for extended sick time and lack of other paid time, Employee will have access to paid maternity (childbirth) leave (240 hours for a full time appointment and pro-rated to appointment) once the Employee gives birth.
b. If an Employee is on an unpaid leave, unrelated to pregnancy, such as a leave of absence or a RIF, and the event occurs during the leave: the Employee is not eligible for maternity (childbirth) leave and parental leaves. However, if the Employee returns to work, the following applies:
i. The birth parent has access to maternity (childbirth) and parental leaves if the Employee returns to work within 12 weeks of event. The time available will be adjusted to account for the event date and the return to work (e.g., if the birth was four weeks prior to the scheduled return to work, the parent will have two weeks of paid maternity (childbirth) and six weeks of paid parental leave available).
ii. Parental leave is available if Employee returns to work within 6 weeks of event. The time available will be adjusted to account for the event date and the return to work (e.g., if the event was four weeks prior to the scheduled return to work, the Employee will have two weeks of paid parental leave available).
