Leave that is compensated under the PFML program will run concurrently with all other applicable paid or unpaid leave types available in this Agreement or by law, including FMLA leave, to the maximum extent allowed by law. Employees will be responsible for the full employee premium share allowed by law, paid through payroll deduction. The Medical Center will pay the remaining portion of the premium. Employees who receive State benefits under the PFML program will be allowed to use accrued sick leave credits and/or vacation benefits to supplement State payments, up to the employee’s net weekly earnings based on the employee’s budgeted FTE and regular rate of pay. Available accrued sick leave credits must be used before available vacation benefits. Employees must request supplemental use of sick leave credits and/or vacation benefits in writing through a process established by the Medical Center and provide appropriate information, including the date the employee became eligible for PFML benefits and documentation of the receipt of PFML payments and the weekly benefit amount received. Supplemental sick leave credits and/or vacation benefits will generally be paid within two pay periods of the employee’s request and submission of required information and documentation.
