INTERMITTENT LEAVE/REDUCED LEAVE SCHEDULE Sample Clauses

INTERMITTENT LEAVE/REDUCED LEAVE SCHEDULE. An employee who qualifies for Family Leave may take the leave as intermittent leave or on a reduced schedule but only if it is medically necessary. If an employee is taking Family Leave due to the serious illness of a family member, the employee may take intermittent leave or reduced schedule leave to provide care or psychological comfort to the family member. Employees must attempt to schedule the intermittent leave or reduced schedule leave so it does not disrupt the State’s operations. The State may assign the employee to an alternative position within the same agency/department/work location for which the employee is qualified with equivalent pay and benefits to better accommodate the requested leave. If the State assigns the employee to an alternative position, once the need for the intermittent or reduced leave schedule is ended, the State will place the employee in a position which is the same or equivalent to the employee’s position at the time the leave began. If the position is an equivalent position it will be within the same agency/department/work location as the employee’s position at the time the leave began. When an employee is granted Parental Leave after the birth or placement of a child, the State, in its discretion, may grant the employee’s request for intermittent leave or reduced schedule leave. However, if the mother has a serious illness in relation to the birth of a newborn then the provisions for intermittent leave/reduced schedule leave for Family Leave are applicable. If the newborn has a serious illness, then the provisions for intermittent leave/reduced schedule leave for Family Leave are applicable to either parent. Prior to the birth of a child, a pregnant employee can take intermittent leave for prenatal exams or for her own medical condition, e.g., severe morning sickness.

INTERMITTENT LEAVE/REDUCED LEAVE SCHEDULE. 1. Intermittent leave or a reduced leave schedule is permitted when medically necessary to care for a child, spouse, or parent with a serious health condition, or for an employee's own serious health condition as defined in this policy. Intermittent leave may not be taken for the birth of a child. Intermittent leave may be used for appointments necessary for placement of a xxxxxx or adoptive child. 2. Intermittent leave is leave taken in separate blocks of time due to a single illness or injury, rather than for one continuous period of time, and may include leave of period from a quarter of an hour to several weeks. 3. A reduced leave schedule is a leave schedule that reduces an employee's usual number of working hours per workweek or workday for a period of time normally from full-time to part-time. 4. Employees scheduled for less than 40 hours per week are entitled to a pro-rated amount of FMLA in a rolling 12-month period of time. 5. This kind of leave is intended to address situations where an employee has to be away a portion of the work time for employee's own serious health condition or the care of the serious health condition of a child, spouse, parent or grandparents but can be available for work the remaining part of the day, weeks, or month. Examples of intermittent leave would include leave taken several days at a time spread over a period of six months, such as for chemotherapy. 6. An employee may be required to temporarily transfer to an available alternative position with equivalent pay and benefits if the employee is qualified for the position and it better accommodates recurring periods of leave than the employee's regular job. All decisions of this nature should be made in consultation with the Human Resources Consultant. 7. Time off for intermittent leave or reduced leave schedule covered under the FMLA is counted toward the 12-week benefit entitlement of FMLA leave. Only the amount of leave actually taken will be counted toward the 12 weeks of leave entitlement. 8. The employee must, where possible, attempt to schedule intermittent or reduced schedule so as not to disrupt the department's operation.
