FMLA Guidelines
-
FMLA provides unpaid, job-protected leave. Leave may be taken all at once or intermittently as the medical condition requires. An allowance of 12 weeks (84 days) off if you meet this criterion:
*Must have worked at least 12 months and at least 1250 hours in the 12 months before you take leave.
Thirty (30) days’ notice of your need to take FMLA is required. Notice from doctor, hospital, military within 15 business days of submitting completed FMLA form. Please note, all referenced forms can be found in the files to the right.
Qualifying reasons for FMLA are:
- Medical Leave
- Maternity
- Paternity
- Child Care or care of immediate family member
- Military Family Leave
FMLA Rights and Responsibilities
-
FMLA is an unpaid leave. However, if you have sick time or personal time, you may use that time, along with FMLA leave in order to continue to get paid. Sick time used runs concurrently with FMLA time used. If you have available sick or personal time that exceeds the FMLA days you’ve used, you can continue to use that time in order to remain being paid.
District health benefits will remain in effect while you are on payroll which means your normal premiums will not change. If you are off payroll at any time while you are on a leave of absence, your district benefit premiums will change. See your Health and Benefits administrator for more information regarding both topics.
