. ELIGIBILITY FOR FMLA AND SERVICEMEMBER CARE LEAVE: Employees are eligible for FMLA leave if they: 1) have a cumulative (not necessarily continuous) 12 months of prior service within a period of 7 years, and 2) have worked at least 1250 hours during the 12 months immediately preceding the date on which the FMLA leave would begin. USE OF INTERMITTENT LEAVE: Under certain circumstances, leave may be taken on an intermittent or reduced schedule basis. An employee is permitted to take intermittent or reduced schedule FMLA leave when there is a medical need for such leave for an employee's own serious health condition, to care for a spouse, parent, son or daughter with a serious health condition, or to care for a covered servicemember with a serious injury or illness. An employee is also entitled to use intermittent or reduced schedule FMLA leave for qualifying exigencies. An employee may request, but is not entitled to take intermittent FMLA leave for the birth and care of a newborn child or for the placement with the employee of a child for adoption or foster care; however, such leave is at the discretion of the Department Director and Human Resources Director. If an employee needs FMLA leave intermittently or on a reduced schedule for planned medical treatment for their own serious health condition or for that of a qualifying family member, the employee must make a reasonable effort to schedule the treatment so as to not unduly disrupt the employer's operations. An employee may be temporarily transferred to an alternative position that better accommodates a recurring period of leave provided the pay and benefits are equivalent to those the employee had in the prior position. Once the need for, intermittent or reduced schedule leave ends, the employee must be restored to the same or equivalent job as the job that the employee left when the leave started.
