Family and Medical Care Leave. Per State and Federal Regulations, Family and Medical Care and California Family Rights Act leaves are available for employees who qualify. Information on leaves is posted in the work area and further information is available from the Human Resources Representative. These leaves may be taken for the birth/adoption of a child, to care for a child, spouse or parent who has a serious health condition or for an employee’s own health condition which makes an employee unable to perform the essential functions of his/her job. If an employee is a regular full time employee, with more than one year of continuous service, or have worked more than 1250 hours during the previous 12 months an employee is eligible to request a leave. If this leave is granted, upon an employee’s return, an employee will be reinstated to the same or a comparable position as the position held before the leave unless such a position no longer exists. Available accruals must be used for such leaves. For leaves related to an employee’s own serious health condition or that of an eligible family member, sick leave will be utilized first, followed by other accruals (holiday, CTO, vacation – in that order). If all available accrual is depleted an employee may continue on an unpaid leave until the 12 week maximum leave is taken. If an employee desires to take an FMLA leave or CFRA leave not associated with the serious health condition of him or herself or an eligible family member, sick leave hours accrued may not be used. Whenever possible, an employee must provide at least 30 days written notice that he/she wishes to take a leave of absence. When this is not possible an employee must notify the City, in writing, as soon as possible. Failure to comply with these notification rules may result in the denial or deferral of the requested leave until the employee complies with the notice provisions. The cost of an employee’s health care coverage while on a Family and Medical Care Leave less any portion of the premium an employee is required to pay will be paid for by the City for up to 12 weeks. If you do not return from your leave, you will be responsible for reimbursing the City for the insurance premiums paid on your behalf. While the above provisions will apply to most employees in most circumstances, there are certain exceptions under which the City may refuse to grant a leave.
