Sample 1
Family Friendly Leave Act. 1. Employees may use up to maximum allowable hours of sick leave in a year under the Federal Employee Family Friendly Leave Act: a. To care for or otherwise attend to a family member having an illness, injury, or other condition which if an employee had such a condition would justify the use of sick leave by such an employee; and b. For purposes relating to the death of a family member, including making arrangements for and attending the funeral of such family member. Family member is defined as: 1. Spouse and parents of spouse; 2. Children, including adopted children, and their spouses; 3. Parents; 4. Brothers and sisters and their spouses; and 5. Any individual related by blood or affinity whose close association with the employee is the equivalent of a family member. 2. Additional hours may be used if that number of hours does not cause the employee's sick leave balance to fall below [80] hours. 3. The amount of sick leave to which part-time employees are entitled is a pro-rated amount of full-time employees entitlement, in accordance with Governmentwide law and regulation.

Family Friendly Leave Act. 1. The Agency shall grant sick leave, when requested, to provide care for a family member as a result of a contagious disease; physical or mental illness; injury; pregnancy; childbirth; or medical, dental, or optical examination or treatment; or to make arrangements necessitated by the death of a family member or attend the funeral of a family member. 2. The Federal Employees Family Friendly Leave Act (FFLA) establishes a maximum limitation of 104 hours of sick leave during a leave year that may be used by full-time employees to care for a family member or to arrange for and attend funerals of family members for bereavement purposes. a) A full-time employee may use a total of up to 40 hours of sick leave each year for these purposes. b) A full-time employee who maintains a balance of at least 80 hours of sick leave may use an additional 64 hours of sick leave per leave year for these purposes. 3. The entitlement to use a total of up to 104 hours of sick leave (or the maximum allowed for part-time employees), in conjunction with a generous annual leave system, advanced annual leave, the leave transfer and leave programs, flexible work schedules, unpaid leave under the FMLA and compensatory time off will further assist the vast majority of employees to meet their sickness-related family care needs. 4. The basic limit for a part-time employee or an employee with an uncommon tour of duty is equal to the average number of hours of work in the employee’s scheduled tour of duty each week. Additional sick leave, up to the amount accrued during a leave year, can be used if the use of that leave does not cause the amount of sick leave to the employee’s credit to fall below twice the basic limit amount.

Family Friendly Leave Act. For the purposes of the Family Friendly Leave Act (FFLA) and this Section a “family member” is defined as “any individual related by blood or affinity whose close association with the Employee is the equivalent of a family relationship”. a. In accordance with 5 CFR 630.401, sick leave shall be granted when an Employee: (1) Provides care for a family member, who is incapacitated, as a result of medical or mental illness; pregnancy; child birth; or medical, dental or optical examinations or treatment; (2) Makes arrangements necessitated by the death of a family member or attends a funeral of a family member; (3) Would, as determined by health authorities having jurisdiction or by a health care provider, jeopardize the health of others by his/her presence on the job because of exposure to a communicable disease(s); (4) Request leave for the purposes of adoption. This is in addition to any entitlement of leave granted under the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993. b. Employees may use a total of up to forty (40) hours of earned sick leave each year for family care of family bereavement purposes. Employees may use an additional sixty-four (64) hours of sick leave if eighty (80) hours of sick leave is available in their leave balance. The total entitlement under FFLA can be up to one-hundred four (104) hours per year, dependent upon the sick leave balance in each Employee’s leave account. If the Employee does not use any or the entire amount of sick leave provided under the FFLA, these hours cannot be accumulated and carried-over to succeeding years. c. Firefighters, or other Employees who work a regularly scheduled uncommon tour of duty (greater than eighty (80) per pay period) may use the number of hours of sick leave normally accrued by that Employee during a leave year. Employees who work a regularly scheduled uncommon tour of duty must meet the leave balance criteria outline in 10b of this Section. d. Employees who are entitled to FFLA and meet the requirements outlined above in Section 10a, and either 10b or 10c may be allowed to substitute sick leave during a period of annual leave. e. When requested by the Supervisor, the Employee will provide their supervisor with acceptable evidence to substantiate their request for FFLA.

An Appointing Authority shall grant to a full time or part time employee who has completed her/his probationary period, or if there is no such probationary period, has been employed for at least three consecutive months, an unpaid leave of absence for up to twenty-six (26) weeks in conjunction with the birth, adoption or placement of a child as long as the leave concludes within twelve (12) months following the birth or placement. The ability to take leave ceases when a xxxxxx placement ceases unless the need for additional leave is directly connected to previous placement. 2. New employees who have completed six full months of employment but remain within their probationary period may request the appointing authority to waive their remaining wait time for FMLA. Such request shall include submission of satisfactory medical evidence that demonstrates either a.) an existing catastrophic illness; or b.) a problematic pregnancy that prevents the employee from being able to perform the functions of her position. Any leave granted under this waiver will be charged against the employee’s FMLA leave as described in this section. The remaining rights and obligations under Section 8 shall apply. 3. At least thirty (30) days in advance, the employee shall submit to the Appointing Authority a written notice of his/her intent to take such leave and the dates and expected duration of such leave. If thirty (30) days notice is not possible, the employee shall give notice as soon as practicable. The employee shall provide upon request by the Appointing Authority proof of the birth or placement or adoption of a child. 4. If an employee has accrued sick leave, personal leave, compensatory leave, or vacation credits at the commencement of her/his family leave, the employee may use such leave credits for which he/she may be eligible under the sick leave, personal leave or vacation provisions of this Agreement. The Appointing Authority may, in his/her discretion, assign an employee to backfill for an employee who is on family leave. Such assignment may not be subject to the grievance procedure. 5. At the expiration of the family leave, the employee shall be returned to the same or equivalent position with the same status, pay and length of service credit as of the date of her/his leave. If during the period of the leave, employees in an equivalent position have been laid-off through no fault of their own, the employee will be extended the same rights or benefits, if any, extended to employees of equal length of service in the equivalent position in the department. 6. Employees taking an unpaid leave of absence under this provision will accrue sick and vacation leave benefits only for the first eight (8) weeks of such unpaid leave. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement to the contrary, the family leave granted under this Article shall not affect the employee's right to receive any contractual benefits for which he/she was eligible at the time of his/her leave. 7. During the time an employee is on family leave, the employee shall be entitled to group health insurance coverage benefits on the same terms and conditions in effect at the time the leave began, provided the employee continues to pay the required employee share of premium while on leave. If the employee fails to return from leave, the Commonwealth may recover, as provided under FMLA, the cost it incurred in maintaining insurance coverage under its group health plan for the duration of the employee's leave. 8. During family leave taken in conjunction with the birth, adoption, or placement of a child, an employee shall receive his/her salary for ten (10) days of said leave at a time requested by the employee.
