Eligible employees are limited to using a maximum of 160 hours of sick time in any 12-month period for a Safety Leave or for a Sick Family Member Leave resulting from the illness of or injury to the employee's adult child, spouse, sibling, parent, parent-in-law, stepparent, grandparent, or grandchild. Sick time under this policy must be used in the same manner as the employee would use the sick time for his/her own illness. Please note that, if an employee is also eligible for FMLA leave to care for a sick family member,FMLA leave and Minnesota sick leave time will run concurrently. 49. SCHOOL ACTIVITIES LEAVE POLICY Employees who have worked at least one-half time during the preceding twelve months are entitled to up to 16 hours leave during any 12-month period to attend school conferences or classroom activities related to the employee's child,provided the conferences or classroom activities cannot be scheduled during non-work hours. If an employee's child receives child care services or attends a pre-kindergarten regular or special education program, the employee may use the leave time to attend a conference, or activity related to the employee's child, or to observe and monitor the services and program, provided the conference, activity or observation cannot be scheduled during non-work hours. When the need for leave under this section is foreseeable, the employee must provide reasonable prior notice of the leave to his or her immediate supervisor and make a reasonable effort to schedule the leave so as not to unduly disrupt Utilities business. Regular paid sick leave may not be used for purposes of this school activities leave. 50.
