When requested or consented to by you. When ordered by a court or administrative agency. Where otherwise required by applicable federal or state law.
Leave under this policy is unpaid; however, you may choose to use any accrued paid leave. Leave may be taken intermittently, on a reduced work schedule, or in a single block of time, as the circumstances warrant. During the leave, the Company will maintain any health insurance coverage being provided in the same manner as if you had not taken leave. The leave must be reasonable in duration, which will be determined by management and you, based upon the circumstances. Upon return from leave, you will be reinstated to the position held prior to taking leave or to an equivalent position with equivalent benefits, pay, and other terms and conditions of employment, subject to certain exceptions as provided under Washington law. The Company will not retaliate against employees who request or take leave in accordance with this policy. Military Family Leave In accordance with the Washington Military Family Leave Act (MFLA), CREA, LLC will provide employees who are the spouse of a military member up to 15 days of leave from work for each deployment when the military spouse is deployed or called up to active duty. The leave may be used prior to the deployment, or during the period when the military spouse is on leave during the deployment.
As used in this policy:
Spouse includes same-sex spouses and state-registered domestic partners. Military member means a member of the U.S. Armed Forces, National Guard, or reserves.
To be eligible for such leave, you must work 20 or more hours per week.
To take military family leave, you must provide notice of intention to take leave within five business days of receiving official notice of an impending call or order to active duty or of a leave from deployment. The leave provided under this policy is unpaid; however, you may substitute any available paid leave. You may split the 15-day leave between different periods of time (pre-deployment or while the military member is on leave during deployment). The total number of days of leave, however, cannot exceed 15 days per deployment. The Company may count FMLA-qualified leave related to a deployment as state MFLA leave if the leave is taken before the deployment, or during any period when the military spouse is on leave from deployment.
You will be allowed to continue available group health benefits at your own expense.
Upon return from leave, you will be restored to your prior position.
The Company will not retaliate against employees who request or take leave in accordance with this policy.

The program is administered by the Washington Employment Security Department (ESD) and is funded by premiums paid by both employees (through payroll deductions) and employers.
