If any employee is eligible for parental leave under both the FMLA and the MN Parental
<br />Leave Act, the parental leave time taken under the Company's FMLA leave policy will run
<br />concurrently with time taken under this policy.
<br />If you are eligible for both unpaid MN parental leave and any paid vacation or long-term
<br />disability insurance, you must use this paid time off or salary continuation benefit during
<br />any MN parental leave period up to the amount needed to cover the entire parenting leave.
<br />Following leave under this policy, an employee will be reinstated to his or her same job or
<br />one with comparable duties, hours, and pay.
<br />56. MINNESOTA SICK FAMILY MEMBER OR SAFETY LEAVE
<br />A Minnesota employee who has worked for the Utilities for at least 12 months and who
<br />has worked at least one-half (1/2) time during the past twelve (12) months may use his or
<br />her accrued sick time to care for the employee's sick or injured child, stepchild, foster
<br />child, adopted child, adult child, spouse, sibling, parent, parent -in-law, stepparent,
<br />grandparent, or grandchild (including a biological, step, foster, or adopted grandchild) for
<br />reasonable times as the employee' s attendance may be necessary. This type of leave is
<br />referred to as a "Sick Family Member Leave".
<br />In addition, a Minnesota employee who has worked for the Utilities for at least 12 months
<br />and who has worked at least one-half (1/2) time during the past twelve (12) months may
<br />use his or her accrued sick time to receive assistance or provide assistance to the
<br />employee's child, stepchild, foster child, adopted child, adult child, spouse, sibling, parent,
<br />parent -in-law, stepparent, grandparent, or grandchild (including a biological, step, foster,
<br />or adopted grandchild) because of domestic abuse (as defined in Minn. Stat. §51813.01),
<br />sexual assault (as defined in Minn. Stat. §§609.342, 609.3453, or 609.352), or stalking (as
<br />defined in §Minn. Stat. 609.749). This type of leave is referred to as a "Safety Leave."
<br />Eligible employees are limited to using a maximum of 160 hours of sick time in any 12-
<br />month period for a Safety Leave or for a Sick Family Member Leave resulting from the
<br />illness of or injury to the employee's adult child, spouse, sibling, parent, parent -in-law,
<br />stepparent, grandparent, or grandchild.
<br />Sick time under this policy must be used in the same manner as the employee would use
<br />the sick time for his/her own illness.
<br />Please note that, if an employee is also eligible for FMLA leave to care for a sick family
<br />member, FMLA leave and Minnesota Sick Family Member Leave time will run
<br />concurrently.
