The <br /> company will measure the 12-month period as a rolling 12-month period measured backward <br /> from the date an employee uses any leave under this policy. Each time an employee takes leave, <br /> the company will compute the amount of leave the employee has taken under this policy in the <br /> last 12 months and subtract it from the 12 weeks of available leave, and the balance remaining is <br /> the amount of time the employee is entitled to take at that time. <br /> An eligible employee can take up to 26 weeks for the FMLA military caregiver leave <br /> circumstance above during a single 12-month period. For this military caregiver leave, the <br /> company will measure the 12-month period as a rolling 12-month period measured forward. <br /> FMLA leave already taken for other FMLA circumstances will be deducted from the total of 26 <br /> weeks available. <br /> If a husband and wife both work for the company and each wishes to take leave for the birth of a <br /> child, adoption or placement of a child in foster care, or to care for a parent (but not a parent "in- <br /> law")with a serious health condition, the husband and wife may only take a combined total of 12 <br /> weeks of leave.
