The Family and Medical Leave may provide | up to a total of twelve (12) work Weeks |
or 480 work hours | of unpaid leave |
A work week is defined as an employee’s | normally scheduled hours of work each week |
2. The definition of a work week may vary for employees | who work in an area requiring a 24–hour operation |
such as: Patrol, Corrections | or the Communications Center |
FMLA leave usage is measured/tracked | on a “rolling 12–month period” |
which is measured backward | from the date an employee first uses any FMLA leave |
Depending upon the circumstances | FMLA leave may be paid or unpaid |
depending upon the accrued leave | (e.g., personal, annual or sick leave – see applicable leave plan) available to the employee. |
FMLA leave is not necessarily granted | in addition to other forms of leave |
Leave taken under the City’s Personal Leave Plans | or Leaves of Absence may qualify for, and be applied towards, an employee’s FMLA leave entitlement |
The City will designate any absence taken | for a qualifying reason as FMLA |
and count that time against an employee’s | 12–week FMLA entitlement |
Approved Family and Medical and Leave may be | paid, unpaid, or a combination of both |
All employees with more than 80 hours of available leave | will be placed on FMLA paid leave until their available leave balance reaches 80 hours |
Thereafter, such employees shall choose either to continue | with paid leave to cover the remainder of their FMLA time |
or alternate to a FMLA leave | without pay status |
An employee can utilize intermittent leave | when it is taken in separate blocks of time due to a single qualifying reason |
