Maternity and Child-Rearing Leave. (a) Maternity and child-rearing leave shall be granted as provided in the Attendance Rules. However, where the child is required to remain in the hospital following birth, the seven month mandatory child care leave shall, upon employee request, commence when the child is released from the hospital. If a child is required to be admitted to a hospital for treatment after child care leave has commenced, upon employee request, child care leave shall be suspended during a single continuous period of such hospitalization and that period shall not count toward calculation of the seven month period. In such cases, any entitlement to mandatory child care leave expires one year from the date of birth of the child.
