Intermittent Leave and Reduced-Leave Schedule. 1. Intermittent leave means leave taken in separate periods of time due to a single qualifying reason, rather than for one continuous period of time, and may include leave periods from an hour or more to several weeks. Reduced-leave schedule means a leave schedule that reduces the usual number of hours per workweek, or hours per work day of the employee. Examples of intermittent leave would include leave taken on an occasional basis for medical appointments, or leave taken several days at a time spread over a period of six (6) months, such as for chemotherapy. An example of an employee taking leave on a reduced leave schedule is an employee who is recovering from a serious health condition and is not strong enough to work a full-time schedule.
