Common use of Intermittent or Reduced Schedule Leave Clause in Contracts

Intermittent or Reduced Schedule Leave. When medically necessary (as distinguished from voluntary treatments and procedures) or for any qualifying exigency, leave may be taken on an intermittent or reduced schedule basis. Leave for bonding with a healthy newborn or placement of a healthy child for adoption or xxxxxx care is not considered medically necessary and, therefore, may not be taken on a reduced schedule or intermittent basis unless agreed to by Humboldt County. Employees needing intermittent leave or reduced schedule leave must make a reasonable effort to schedule their leave so as not to disrupt unduly Humboldt County’s operations. If leave is foreseeable, Humboldt County may require an employee on intermittent leave or reduced schedule leave to temporarily transfer to an available alternative position for which the employee is qualified if the position has equivalent pay and benefits and better accommodates the employee’s intermittent or reduced schedule leave. Intermittent leave and reduced schedule leave reduces the 12- week entitlement only by the actual time used. When an employee, who was transferred, no longer needs intermittent or reduced scheduled leave, the employee must be placed in the same or equivalent position held prior to when the leave commenced.
