Family Medical Leave Act Compliance. Family and medical leave for employees shall be governed by the provisions of the Federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), as may be amended from time to time. Nothing in this section is intended to extend to an employee rights or benefits not provided in the FMLA. 1. Employees who have one (1) year of service are eligible to take up to 12 weeks during any 12 month (52 week) period of family or medical leave as defined in the FMLA. Family members are those persons who are so defined in the FMLA. 2. The employee must provide reasonable advance notice if the need for the leave is foreseeable. 3. The employee shall exhaust all available sick and annual leave when the leave is due to the health condition of the employee or when leave is taken to care for a child, spouse or parent with a health condition. 4. The County shall maintain coverage under any County group health plan for the duration of the leave at the level and under conditions that would have been provided had the employee been working. However, the County shall only maintain such group health plan coverage for such employee for up to twelve (12) weeks within a twelve (12) month period commencing with the start of the FMLA leave.
