Family Medical Leave and Oregon Family Medical Leave Acts. Paid leave is to be used in conjunction with FMLA/OFLA consistent with the leave provisions of this Agreement, unless an employee is receiving payments from a disability provider at the same time that they are on FMLA/OFLA. In this circumstance, the employee may choose not to use paid leave, unless it is required by the disability provider. The disability provider may require the employee to use some or all leave prior to receiving a full disability payment. The employee must inform the Employer when disability payments commence, when they end and whether the disability provider requires the use of paid leave in conjunction with the disability benefit. Employees who are not receiving disability insurance payments shall use accrued paid leave until such paid leave is exhausted. Employees may retain a total of sixty (60) hours of vacation, sick, personal business or compensatory time for use upon returning to work. Whenever possible, this designation shall be made prior to the beginning of the qualifying leave. Employees may be granted approval to maintain a vacation leave balance of up to eighty (80) hours to cover a pre-approved vacation. Employees may not reserve accrued paid leave when on intermittent leave or when they are working a reduced schedule. REV: 2019
