Spouses Employed by the District. If a husband and wife are employed by this school district and are both eligible for FMLA leave, their combined amount of leave for birth, adoption, xxxxxx care placement, and parental illness will be limited to 12 weeks. If the leave is requested because of the employee's own illness, or due to the illness of a child or of the other spouse, each spouse is entitled to 12 weeks of leave. An employee may not take FMLA leave to care for a parent-in-law. Intermittent and Reduced Leave Intermittent leave is leave taken in several blocks of time due to a single illness or injury. Reduced leave is a leave schedule that reduces an employee's usual number of hours per work week or hours per work day. Intermittent or reduced leave is available only for the employee's own serious health condition or to care for a seriously ill spouse, child adoption/placement of a child. The district may provide such medical leave but the district may transfer the employee to a position which is equivalent, but more suitable for intermittent periods of leave. The employee must furnish the district with the expected dates of the planned medical treatment and the duration of the treatment. The Superintendent must authorize such leave in writing.
