Intermittent or Reduced Leave. An eligible employee may take leave to care for a family member with a serious health condition on an intermittent basis, or on a reduced leave schedule, when a health care provider deems it medically necessary. This is also true if the employee is unable to perform the essential functions of his or her job because of a chronic serious health condition, even if the employee does not receive treatment by a health care provider. If an employee requests an intermittent leave or reduced schedule, the Employer may temporarily assign the employee to an alternative job with equal pay and benefits that better accommodates the recurring leave periods. The employee may also work reduced weekly or daily schedules to accommodate the recurring absences. Intermittent leave for the birth, adoption or xxxxxx placement of a son or daughter is available only with the mutual agreement of the employee and the Employer. Double Spouse Leave: When both spouses are employed by the State of Iowa and are eligible for leave under this Agreement, they are limited to a combined total of twelve (12) weeks of leave for the birth, adoption and xxxxxx placement of a son or daughter, or the care of a parent.
