Family Friendly Leave. Employees may use the provisions of the Federal Employees Family Friendly Leave Act which expands the use of sick leave by permitting most employees to use a total of up to 104 hours of sick leave each leave year (or, in the case of part-time employee with an uncommon tour of duty, the number of hours of sick leave normally accrued during a leave year) for the following:
(1) To provide care for a family member as a result of a physical or mental illness, injury, pregnancy, childbirth; or for a medical, dental, or optical examination or treatment; or
(2) Make arrangements necessitated by the death of a family member or attend the funeral of a family member. Under this act all covered full-time employees will be able to use a total of up to 40 hours (5 workdays) of sick leave each year for family care or bereavement purposes. In addition, a covered full-time employee who maintains a balance of at least 80 hours of sick leave will be able to use an additional 64 hours (8 workdays) of sick leave per year for these purposes. This brings the total amount of sick leave available for family care and bereavement purposes to a maximum of 104 hours (13 workdays) per year for employees who satisfy this condition. This act includes the broader definition of "family member" that is used in the Federal leave sharing program.
