EMPLOYEE LEAVES. 1. The Parties agree that if an employee is unavailable or unable to perform assigned work for personal or medical reasons, the employee will follow Article XVI of the Collective Bargaining Agreement and Federal and State guidelines for additional paid leave. Teachers will utilize Aesop to report an absence on days when they will not be providing instruction. Any employee absent from duty under quarantine or due to illness arising out of the COVID-19 Pandemic must notify the District when they have tested positive for COVID-19 and will follow the CDC, State and County guidelines for care.

Employees are responsible for completing the appropriate forms. The COVID-19 Leave Chart will assist employees to better understand the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA), also referred to as H.R. 6201, language regarding paid leaves available to you during this time. For your reference, we also have attached informational material that outlines FFCRA Employee Rights to leave flexibility related to COVID-19 and the Employee Request for Emergency Sick Leave and Emergency Family and Medical Leave Form.

In that event the unit member cannot perform their duties due to COVID-19 symptoms, they may utilize H.R. 6201 leave and/or other available leaves. [HR 6201 leave expired so you have to decide whether the District will provide additional COVID leave.]
4. Employees will work directly with HR to determine which leaves they may be eligible for under H.R. 6201 and/or if they will use accumulated sick leaves or other applicable leaves, in the event they are unable to perform their duties.
