27 <br />2. An employee’s entitlement to a Family Leave for the birth or placement of a son or daughter ends 12 <br />months after the date of birth or placement. The maximum total amount of time available to both <br />spouses for a Family Leave for birth or placement of a child or for the care of a parent (but not a <br />parent-in-law) with a Serious Health Condition is twelve (12) workweeks during a twelve (12) month <br />period as defined above, if both are employed by the company. <br /> <br />3. Any applicable paid leave or unpaid leave will run concurrently with Family and Medical Leave. <br />Employees must exhaust all vacation and personal time off during a Family or Medical Leave of <br />Absence, as permitted by law. If paid leave is exhausted, the remainder of the leave, up to 12 weeks <br />(if available), will be unpaid. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Intermittent or Reduced Schedule Leave: <br /> <br />A Family Leave may be taken on an intermittent or reduced schedule where such schedule is <br />medically necessary. Time off work on an intermittent or reduced schedule leave schedule will be <br />charged proportionally against an employee’s twelve (12) workweek entitlement. <br /> <br />For intermittent leave or leave on a reduced schedule, there must be a medical need for leave (as <br />distinguished from voluntary treatments and procedures) and it must be that such medical leave can <br />best be accommodated through an intermittent or reduced leave schedule. Employees who require <br />intermittent leave or leave on a reduced schedule must attempt to schedule the leave so as not to <br />disrupt business operations. If the leave is required for medical treatment, the employee should <br />consult with his or her supervisor and make a reasonable effort to schedule the leave so as to not <br />disrupt unduly the company’s operations. When notice is given of the need for leave, the employee <br />may be required to attempt to reschedule the treatment, subject to the ability and approval of the <br />health care provider. In addition, an employee may be temporarily assigned to an alternative position <br />with equivalent pay and benefits that better accommodates his or her intermitted or reduced leave <br />schedule. <br /> <br />Intermittent leave or leave on reduced schedule requested because of a birth or placement of a son or <br />daughter shall be taken only upon management agreement. <br /> <br />Effect on Health Insurance: <br /> <br />Group medical insurance, where applicable, shall be continued in effect for any employee who is on <br />an approved Family or Medical Leave pursuant to this section. If the employee who is on an approved <br />Family or Medical Leave, the employee contribution will be made in the same way as it would have <br />been made had the employee been working. If the leave is unpaid, the employee must make <br />arrangements prior to the first (1st) day of leave (when possible) for his or her premium contribution <br />amount to be paid directly to the Orange County SportsPlex in accordance with normal pay schedules. <br />The company may recover the amount of the employee’s share of the premium paid by the company <br />to keep the employee’s medical insurance in effect. In addition to this amount, if the employee fails to <br />return from unpaid Family or Medical Leave, the company may recover any costs incurred to keep the <br />insurance in effect, unless the employee failed to return because of a Serious Health Condition and as <br />otherwise permitted by law. The amounts owed by the employee to the company shall be deducted <br />from amounts owed to the employee by the company to the extent permitted by law. <br /> <br /> <br />Return to Work: <br /> <br />An employee who has been on a Family and Medical Leave of Absence for his/her own serious health <br />condition shall provide to his or her manager a medical certification fitness for duty report that he or <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 177AA06A-30B4-42FF-A85A-78B5A7C51DBE
