As required by Federal law, eligible nurses are also entitled to up to 12 weeks of leave because of “any qualifying exigency” as defined by the Department of Labor arising out of the fact that the spouse, son, daughter, or parent of the employee is a reservist, National Guard member, or a recalled retired member who has been notified of an impending call to active duty status in support of a contingency operation. If a leave qualifies under both federal law, state law or this collective bargaining agreement, the leave shall run concurrently. Ordinarily, the nurse must provide thirty (30) days' advance notice to the Employer when the leave is foreseeable. The Employer may require or the nurse may elect to use accrued paid leave time for which the nurse is eligible during family leave. Family leave shall be interpreted consistently with the conditions and provisions of the state and federal law.
