Family Military Leave CREA, LLC will provide eligible employees who are the spouse, parent, child, or grandparent of a person called to military service with up to 30 days of unpaid military family leave during the time federal or state deployment orders are in effect. Eligibility To be eligible for leave, you must: Have been employed by the Company for at least 12 months; Have worked for the Company for at least 1,250 hours during the 12-month period immediately preceding the leave; and Be the spouse, parent, child, or grandparent of a person called to military service lasting longer than 30 days with the state or the United States pursuant to orders of the Governor or the President. Notice and Certification If you are taking family military leave for five or more consecutive workdays, you must provide at least 14 days' advance notice of the intended date to take leave. If possible, consult with your manager to schedule leave so as not to unduly disrupt Company operations. When taking family military leave for less than five consecutive days, provide advance notice as is practicable. The Company may require verification of your eligibility for leave from the proper military authority. Continuation of Benefits During family military leave, you may continue any benefits, if applicable, at your own expense. No loss of seniority status will occur as a result of leave taken under this policy, nor will leave result in the loss of any benefits accrued prior to the leave. Conditions of Leave You may not take family military leave until you have exhausted all accrued vacation, personal, compensatory, or any other leave granted to you, with the exception of sick and disability leave. Where applicable, time off under this policy will run concurrently with time off under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act. Reinstatement Upon return from leave, you will be restored to your prior position or to a position with equivalent seniority status, benefits, pay, and other terms and conditions of employment. Retaliation The Company will not retaliate against employees who request or take leave in accordance with this policy. Voting Leave If you request leave prior to the day of any election and your working hours begin less than two hours after the opening of the polls and end less than two hours before the polls close, you may take two hours of leave during the polling period for the purpose of voting. The time when you can go to vote will be at the discretion of your manager, consistent with applicable legal requirements. Witness Leave CREA, LLC realizes that, on occasion, employees may be subpoenaed to serve as witnesses in a criminal proceeding. In such cases, you will be provided unpaid leave to attend.
