Pursuant to O. A.G. 74-022, a pregnant employee may be granted sick leave for any incapacitation due to pregnancy, whether such incapacitation occurs during pregnancy or subsequent to the birth of a child. “Incapacitation” is defined as unable to perform work duties as determined by a qualified physician. If a pregnant employee elects to take a leave of absence without pay prior to expiration of accumulated sick leave, insurance coverage may remain in effect by the employee making monthly payments in the amount of the total monthly premium or prorated premium for absences of more than five (5) days in a given month. The monthly premium is to be the amount established by the treasurer as of January 1. If a pregnant employee’s incapacitation results in the use of all accumulated sick leave, then insurance coverage would be handled in accordance with Article 23 (Leave of Absence Without Pay).
