Health Insurance Your health insurance will continue while you are on leave; however, if you contribute to the cost of your health insurance, you must continue to pay your portion of the premium cost while on leave. Interaction with Other Laws PFL may be taken by employees who are eligible for time off under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). PFL will run concurrently with designated FMLA leave when the reason for leave qualifies under both PFL and FMLA. Eligible employees must then apply for both PFL and FMLA. You may not receive short-term disability and PFL benefits at the same time. You may not take more than 26 combined weeks of short-term disability and PFL in a 52-week period. If you are unable to work and qualify for workers' compensation benefits, you may not use PFL benefits at the same time as you are receiving workers' compensation benefits. If you are receiving reduced earnings, you may be eligible for PFL. Notice and Required Documentation Notify Human Resources department if you intend to use PFL. If leave is foreseeable, you must give 30 days' advance notice so the Company can plan for your absence. If the event was not foreseeable, notify appropriate person or the Human Resources department as soon as possible. If you fail to give notice without unusual circumstances justifying the failure, PFL may be delayed or partially denied. You must provide documentation in support of your PFL request within 30 days after the leave begins. The Company may require additional proof during your leave, but not more often than once a week. Proof must include a statement of disability from the leave recipient's health care provider. Returning to Work On return from PFL, you will be reinstated to your original position, or if no longer available, an equivalent position with equivalent terms and conditions of employment, including pay and employment benefits. Use of PFL will not result in the loss of any employment benefit that accrued before the start of your family leave that was not used during your family leave. Retaliation The Company will not retaliate against employees who request or take leave in accordance with this policy.
