Other Leave Provisions. (a) Employees with at least twelve (12) months of service and who have worked at least 1,250 hours during the twelve (12) month period preceding the start of the leave, are eligible to take up to a maximum of twelve (12) workweeks (i.e., for an employee normally scheduled to work five (5) days per week, sixty (60) days) of their Medical Leave or Special Leave in any twelve (12) month period on an intermittent or reduced leave basis, provided it is certified as medically necessary. If leave is requested on this basis, however, the Board may; at its discretion, require the employee to transfer temporarily to an alternative position which better accommodates the recurring periods of absence or to a part-time schedule, provided that the position has equivalent pay and benefits. (b) Notwithstanding other provisions of this Article XI, employees can maintain coverage of the group health plan under the conditions coverage would have otherwise been provided if the employee had continued to work, for the first twelve (12) weeks of a Parental, Medical or Special Leave of Absence taken during any twelve (12) month period.
