§ 4.29.020 — Leave provisions

4.29.020 - Leave provisions

A. Eligible employees are entitled to four weeks of paid family care leave in a rolling 12-month period, in addition to any paid leave to which they may otherwise be entitled, to care for a qualifying family member, if such qualifying family member has a serious health condition, or for the employee in the event of a qualifying death. Paid family care leave in the event of a qualifying death must be taken within 12 months of the qualifying death. Except in the event of a qualifying death, paid family care leave under this Chapter 4.29 runs concurrently with the eligible employee's family medical leave entitlement under Chapter 4.26, such that an employee who has exhausted the employee's family medical leave entitlement is not eligible to take paid family care leave. Except in the event of a qualifying death, to become eligible for paid family care leave, an employee must have the serious health condition certified by the health care provider of the qualifying family member. In the event of a qualifying death, an employee must have the death certified. B. Paid family care leave provided by the City to an employee under subsection 4.29.020.A but not used within a rolling 12-month period shall be forfeited and may not be retained for later use by the employee.
