Family and Medical Leave (FML. 15.16A Family and Medical Leave (FML) is unpaid time off from work, and is subject to the provisions of 29 CFR 825. An employee must have at least twelve (12) total months of State service and have worked at least 1,250 hours in the previous twelve (12) month period to be eligible for FML. Employees may request that accrued paid leave (e.g., vacation, sick), and compensatory time if the employee is subject to Section 8.2, be applied along with the unpaid FML entitlement. In this case, any paid leave will run concurrently with the FML entitlement. Employees who are absent and receiving workers’ compensation benefits, or using any paid leave exceeding 40 hours for full-time employees or exceeding the number of hours proportionate to the percentage of FTE for part-time employees, taken for any of the reasons listed in Section 15.16B, will have such leave credited against the twelve (12) week FML entitlement beginning with the first date of absence. Unpaid FML not charged to sick or vacation is subject to service date adjustments under Section 15.19.
