CREA Employee Handbook (Updated 2026)

Leave Usage If eligible, you may take up to 12 weeks of FAMLI leave per year. This may be extended by the following additional amounts:  Four weeks (for a total of 16 weeks) if you have a serious health condition caused by pregnancy or childbirth complications.  Twelve weeks (for a total of 24 weeks) if your child is receiving inpatient care in a neonatal intensive care unit. Leave may be taken continuously, intermittently, or in the form of a reduced schedule. FAMLI leave will run concurrently with other leave when permissible under applicable law. You may choose, but are not required, to use sick leave or other paid time off before using FAMLI leave. The Company will work with you to supplement FAMLI leave with sick leave or other paid time off in order to provide full wage replacement. Notice If leave is foreseeable, you must provide at least 30 days’ notice. If leave is unforeseeable, you must provide notice as soon as practical. Applying for Leave You must apply for FAMLI leave with the FAMLI Division. Instructions on how to file are available on the FAMLI Division website (https://famli.colorado.gov/). You have up to 30 days after leave has started to apply. Compensation FAMLI leave benefits will be paid at a rate based on your average weekly wage. You can estimate your potential benefits by using the calculator at https://famli.colorado.gov/individuals-and-families/premium-and- benefits-calculator. Continuation of Health Benefits If the Company provides you with health benefits under a group health plan, the Company will maintain your health coverage at the same level and under the same conditions as if you had been continuously employed. You will be responsible for paying your share of the cost of health benefits as required prior to beginning leave. Restoration If you worked for the Company for at least 180 days prior to taking leave, you will generally be restored to your previous position or an equivalent position with equivalent employment 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. Civil Air Patrol Leave CREA, LLC will provide eligible employees with up to 15 days of unpaid Civil Air Patrol leave per calendar year to respond to an emergency operational mission of the Colorado Wing of the Civil Air Patrol.
