Provisions Implementing the Family and Medical Leave Act. Teachers shall have the right to both the appropriate family and medical leave and the appropriate designated benefits provided by the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Any provision of this Contract which restricts or is in conflict with any mandatory leave and/or mandatory benefit(s) of the FMLA will not have any effect for any teacher who has a right to a leave and/or benefit under Public Law 217. The School Corporation may require a teacher to verify and/or certify any information which an employer may require under the FMLA and it may further elect any option available to it under the FMLA for any leave or benefit for which a teacher qualifies for under the FMLA but for which the teacher is not entitled under the specific language of this Contract.
