Senior Living Handbook 2018

Matters not specifically covered in this policy will be controlled by the provisions of the FMLA. The appropriate certification forms for all types of FMLA leaves may be obtained from your supervisor and/or business office manager. Information and forms are also located in the Benefits section on EagleNet. Substitution of Accrued Vacation and Sick Leave: Full-time team members may substitute all accrued and unused vacation or sick leave for FMLA unpaid leave. Team members must comply with HHHunt’s Vacation and Sick Leave policies when such leave is substituted for unpaid FMLA leave. Team members who do not meet HHHunt’s requirements for vacation and sick leave are still eligible to take unpaid FMLA leave. A team member’s accrued vacation and sick leave will not be substituted for leave taken pursuant to a paid disability leave plan or a workers’ compensation leave. Counting Other Leave Against FMLA Leave: If a team member takes leave, paid or unpaid, which qualifies as FMLA leave, HHHunt will, consistent with the Act and applicable regulations, designate all or some portion of the leave as FMLA leave and count it against the team member’s total leave entitlement. A workers’ compensation leave will also be designated as FMLA leave and count against the team member’s FMLA leave entitlement. Intermittent or Reduced Leave: FMLA permits eligible team members to take leave intermittently or on a reduced leave schedule under certain conditions. Intermittent leave can be taken for the birth or placement of a child only if HHHunt agrees to such an arrangement. Leave for a serious health condition (for either the team member or an eligible family member) or to care for a covered service member with a serious injury or illness can be taken intermittently or on a reduced leave schedule if there is a medical need for such leave and the medical need is best accommodated through an intermittent or reduced leave schedule. Leave due to a qualifying exigency may also be taken on an intermittent or reduced leave schedule basis. Team members must make a reasonable effort to schedule any foreseeable leave so as not to disrupt HHHunt’s operations.
