Paid Bonding Leave. The parties agreed that employees meeting the eligibility requirements of the Family Medical Leave Act/California Family Rights Act, and who require leave due to a pregnancy or child-birth related medical condition, or who desire to bond with a newly born, adopted or xxxxxx-placed child, shall receive a lump sum of 160 hours of paid leave time for these purposes. The parties have agreed that the following new language will be added to the current Attorney Unit MOU section 31 and General Unit MOU section 30: Section 30/31: PAID BONDING LEAVE : Employees who have been employed with the State Bar for at least one calendar year and who have worked at least 1250 hours in the preceding 12 months, shall be eligible to receive, in a lump sum amount, 160 hours of paid leave to be used after the birth, adoption, or xxxxxx care placement of a child of the employee, and/or being unable to work due to pregnancy or child birth (paid bonding leave). Employees eligible for paid bonding leave need not exhaust any of their other accrued paid leave balances before accessing or using the 160 hours of paid bonding leave. Employees remain eligible to use available paid sick leave, paid vacation and paid personal days for child bonding purposes or not, at their option. While employees may coordinate the use of paid bonding leave to supplement their salaries while receiving State Disability Insurance payments, there is no requirement that they do so. Eligible employees may use the 160 hours of paid bonding leave intermittently, although not in increments of less than a full eight (8) hour workday. Eligible employees must use the 160 hours of paid bonding leave within twelve (12) months of either the day of birth, adoption or xxxxxx-placement of the child, or the day the employees take leave from work due to a pregnancy or child-birth related condition. Paid bonding leave not used at the end of this twelve month period will expire and be lost. Any remaining paid bonding leave that an employee may have will not be paid upon termination of employment, but will be lost. Employees shall also be permitted to use paid sick leave, vacation leave, and personal days to cover leave taken for the same reasons the paid bonding leave may be taken, either to supplement state benefits or to take additional time for bonding with a new child. The parties also agree to add language to Section 30/31 into the MOUs clarifying employees’ obligation to pay for health, dental and vision insurance coverag...
