Terms of Leave. 1. Family care and medical leave shall not exceed twelve (12) work weeks (or twenty-six (26) weeks to care for a covered service member) during any fiscal year. Where FMLA leave qualifies as both military caregiver leave and care for a family member with a serious health condition, the leave will be designated as military caregiver leave first. 2. The twelve (12) month period for calculating leave entitlement will be based on the District’s fiscal year from July 1 to June 30. 3. Leave taken under the FMLA for disability due to pregnancy shall run concurrently with leave taken under the California Pregnancy Disability Act. A family member may also be entitled to an additional twelve (12) weeks of bonding time under the CFRA. 4. During the period of family care and medical leave, the District shall require the faculty member to use his/her accrued time off, and any other paid or unpaid time off negotiated with the District. Accrued sick leave shall be used when the purpose of the family care and medical leave is for the employee’s own serious health condition or the leave is needed to care for a parent, spouse, child or domestic partner with a serious health condition, and for which sick leave may be taken pursuant to this Agreement and/or Board policy.
