Case 18-2868, Document 278, 08/09/2019, 2628230, Page271 of 648 As a result of the Federal Family and Medical Leave Act ("Act"), the Club provides an added benefit to each employee. Each employee will have up to 12 weeks of unpaid family leave during a "rolling" 12-month period month period for: (1) the birth and care of a newborn child; (2) adoption or foster care of a child; (3) to provide care to an employee's spouse, son, daughter or parent (or grandparent under certain circumstances) who has a serious health condition; and (4) the employee's own serious health condition which makes the employee unable to perform his/her job functions. Upon an employee's return from this leave, the Club guarantees that the employee will be placed in the same or equivalent position, absent grievous and substantial business reasons affecting the Club. This leave may be used during the rolling 12-month period even if the full 12 weeks have not been taken. Intermittent use of this leave or a reduced leave schedule may be allowed only where leave is taken for a sick family member, or for an employee's own serious health condition, when medically necessary. If you are not eligible for the 12 weeks unpaid leave, you may still be eligible to take-an unpaid leave of absence for medical reasons or a personal leave of absence at the discretion of the Club. As a result of the Act, it has been necessary to modify some provisions of our policies on sick days, short term disability and personal leaves of absence to comply with the Act. The information that follows is designed to address the great majority of situations that arise in a regular or routine manner. The federal Family Leave Law, however, is subject to on-going review process and interpretation by the courts, therefore, the statements made here can not possibly address every contingency that may arise in interpreting this new and broad Law. For these reasons, special situations will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Set forth below is the Club policy with regard to medical and personal leaves of absence, including provisions of Act. If you have any questions, please contact the Human Resources Manager who will be glad to answer your questions. A. 12 Week Family Medical Leave Purpose: This policy allows an employee to request a family or regular medical leave of absence (LOA) because the employee has a serious health condition which makes the employee unable to perform the functions of the job position (this policy includes a serious health condition related to pregnancy) .
