ARTICLE VI. HOLIDAYS AND LEAVE
Section 7. Leave Without Pay.
I. Employees who have been on the payroll for a period of twelve
(12) months and who have worked at least 1,250 hours in the
preceding twelve (12) months are eligible for up to six (6) months
of family and medical leave for the following reasons:
1. A serious health condition or medical treatment when
required due to a serious health condition. All available
sick leave must be exhausted before leave without pay begins.
The number of sick leave days used, as well as vacation time
the employees elects to use, will be counted as part of the
six month period of leave.
2. When needed to care for a spouse, son, daughter, or parent
when they have a serious health condition. The county may
offer such additional leave as an accommodation of such
disability to the extent that such extension does not
create an undue hardship on the county.
3. The birth of a child of the employee or placement of a son
or daughter with the employee for adoption or foster care.
Childbirth or placement leave must be taken in one block
of six months (including the period of temporary disability
where sick leave is used) unless the county manager approves
a special request for intermittent leave. The entitlement to
leave for birth or child placement expires one year after the
date of the childbirth or placement.
Terms and Definitions
1. The term "disability" as used in this policy means an
impairment which substantially limits the employee in
a major life activity.
2. "Serious health condition" means an illness, injury,
impairment, or physical or mental condition that
involves either inpatient care in a hospital, hospice
or residential medical care facility, or that involves
continuing treatment by a health care provider.
Intermittent Leave or Reduced Work Schedule
An employee may take medical or family leave intermittently or on
a reduced schedule if the employee has a disability which requires
such leave to accommodate the employee in the performance of the
essential functions of his/her position, the employee has a serious
health condition which requires such leave, or the employee has a
spouse, child or parent with a serious health condition which
requires intermittent leave.
The county manager, upon recommendation from the department head,
may require an employee to transfer temporarily to another position
