<br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />FMLA Leave should be scheduled with the employee's supervisor as far in advance as possible. <br />Ifleave is foreseeable, at least thirty (30) days advance notice should be given. <br /> <br />If employees are eligible for both unpaid FMLA Leave and any paid leave (such as vacation, <br />compensatory time, sick leave, or short-term disability benefits), they are required to use such <br />paid leave concurrent with their unpaid FMLA Leave, except that employees on leaves due to <br />birth or adoption need not use their accrued sick leave or vacation during the first six weeks of <br />their leave if they choose not to. Further, employees receiving workers' compensation benefits <br />during their FMLA leave are not required to, and may not elect to, use other paid leave <br />concurrent with FMLA leave during the period they are receiving workers' compensation <br />benefits. <br /> <br />IfFMLA Leave is taken due to the serious health condition of the employee or family member, <br />medical certification will be required. Certification will be required before the leave begins or <br />soon afterward, while on leave if necessary, and upon return to work. The City may, at its own <br />discretion and expense, require a second opinion. <br /> <br />Unless the employee makes special arrangements and is granted permission, FMLA Leave for the <br />birth or adoption of a child or for foster care placement must be taken all at one time. FMLA <br />Leave taken because of the employee's or another's serious health condition may be taken <br />intermittently, all at one time, or in the form of a reduced work schedule, depending upon what is <br />medically necessary. Leave taken by part-time employees in the form of a reduced schedule will <br />be pro-rated to the number of hours worked during the last twelve months. <br /> <br />While on leave, health insurance benefits will continue in the same manner as prior to leave. <br />Employee co-payments must be made in a timely manner to avoid jeopardizing continued <br />coverage. <br /> <br />If you have questions about your leave entitlements, please contact the Finance Director. <br /> <br />Sick or Iniured Child Care Leave Policv <br /> <br />Employees who have worked at least one-halftime during the twelve months preceding a leave <br />are entitled to use accrued personal sick leave benefits for absences due to an illness of or injury <br />to the employee's minor child, or a child under 20 years of age attending secondary school. <br /> <br />School Activities Leave Policv <br /> <br />Employees who have worked at least one-half time during the proceeding twelve months are <br />entitled to up to 16 hours leave during any 12-month period to attend school conferences or <br />classroom activities related to the employee's child, provided the conferences or classroom <br />activities cannot be scheduled during non-work hours. Ifan employee's child receives child care <br />services or attends a pre-kindergarten regular or special education program, the employee may <br />use the leave time to attend a conference, or activity related to the employee's child, or to observe <br /> <br />15 <br />
