Family Friendly Leave Act Sample Clauses

Family Friendly Leave Act requests for annual leave, sick leave, and/or leave without pay, for the purposes of adopting a child , will be handled in accordance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations.
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.
Family Friendly Leave Act. The Parties agree to comply with the provisions of the Family Friendly Leave Act (PL 103-88), which allows the use of sick leave, within the limits stated in the act, for such things as family medical care or bereavement. Normally employees may use up to 104 hours sick leave in accordance with 5 CFR 630.401 D for the following: 1. To provide care for a family member which includes spouses and their parents, children, parents, siblings and their spouses, and any individual related by blood or affinity whose relationship to the employee is the equivalent of a family relationship as a result of such family member’s physical or mental illness, injury, pregnancy, childbirth or medical, dental or optical examination or treatment, or 2. Make arrangements necessitated by death of a family member or attend the funeral of a family member as defined by (1)
Family Friendly Leave Act. The amount of sick leave that a part-time employee may use shall be equal to the average number of hours they are scheduled to work each week. In addition, a part-time employee who maintains a sick leave balance equal to their tour of duty each pay period, may use additional sick leave equal to the average number of hours of sick leave they normally accrue during the leave year.
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) An employee may use up to one hundred and four (104) hours of sick leave each leave year for the purposes described in Section 24.01 A (3) and (5) above. An employee may use up to 480 hours of sick leave each leave year for the purposes described in Section 24.01 A (4) above. (2) For part-time employees, this paragraph shall be applied in accordance with 5 CFR § 630.401
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.

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 his/her 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.

The same eligibility requirements apply for employees requesting a leave under this category. Regulations as estab- lished by the Department of Labor will be followed when granting leaves under this provision. FMLA leaves are only available to employees who have been employed by the District for at least twelve (12) months and have worked 1,250 hours during the previous twelve (12) month period. Such leaves are counted against an employee's annual FMLA leave entitlement. Under the FMLA, an employee is eligible for a total of twelve (12) work weeks of leave in a twelve (12) month period. This twelve (12) month period is measured back from the date a requested leave is to begin. Continuation of medical, optical and dental benefits and the right to job restoration ceases when an employee has used twelve (12) work weeks of FMLA leave in the twelve (12) month period. (See Section B, Medical Leave of Absence). An employee requesting a FMLA leave must provide the Xxxxx- xxxx Superintendent of Human Resources at least thirty (30) days advance notice of when the leave is to begin. If such no- xxxx is not practicable, then notice is to be provided as soon as practicable. When a leave denoted as (1) or (2) above is granted, the leave must be taken in one (1) continuous increment, and must be concluded within twelve (12) months of the date of birth or placement. Employees granted such leave must utilize accu- mulated vacation days and accumulated personal business days (in that order), after which time the leave is unpaid. When a leave denoted as (3) above is granted, the employee must utilize accumulated sick leave time, accumulated vacation days, and accumulated personal business days (in that order), after which time the leave is unpaid. When a leave denoted as (4) above is granted, the employee must utilize accumulated sick leave days and accumulated per- xxxxx business days (in that order), after which time the leave is unpaid. After these days have been used and if more sick time is needed, the employee may choose to use accumulated vacation time. When additional time is needed during the 90 calendar day (13 week) LTD elimination period, the employee may use available vacation days. If the employee has pur- chased and is filing for short term disability, vacation days may be used during the 14 day elimination period. Vacation days cannot be used once the short term disability coverage starts. Leaves denoted as (3) or (4) above must be supported by med- ical certification from a health care provider stating (1) the date on which the serious health condition commenced, (2) the probable duration of the condition, (3) the appropriate medical facts, and (4) a statement that the employee is unable to per- form the essential functions of his/her position, or that the em- ployee is needed to care for the person. The District reserves the right to require the employee to obtain the opinion of a sec- ond health care provider designated or approved by the District concerning any information within the medical certification. When a FMLA leave denoted as (1) or (2) above is granted to spouses who are both employed by the District, the total amount of time on leave (in total for both employees) cannot exceed twelve (12) weeks of FMLA time. At the expiration of a medical leave or if the employee wishes to return to work before completion of the leave, there must be a physician's certification confirming his/her fitness to return to work. The District may condition the employee's return to work upon a fitness for duty examination and approval by a health care provider designated by the District. The District will continue to provide an employee's medical, optical and dental insurance while he/she is on a FMLA leave for a period of up to twelve (12) weeks on the same terms and conditions as prior to the leave. An employee on a FMLA leave shall not engage in any outside or supplemental employment. The District may recover insurance premiums paid while an employee was on an unpaid FMLA leave if: 1. The employee fails to return to work for at least thirty (30) days after the expiration of the leave; and 2. The failure to return is for a reason other than a serious health condition, or other circumstances beyond the control of the employee. Certification from the health care provider may be required for this purpose. An employee returning from a FMLA leave will be restored to the position he/she left, or to an equivalent position with equiv- alent benefits, pay and other terms and conditions of employ- ment. If the employee has not satisfactorily completed the probation- ary period at the commencement of a FMLA leave, then upon cessation of the leave, the employee must work the days need- ed to complete the probationary period.
