Family member means your child, spouse, or parents or spouse’s parents (as defined under applicable law).
Accrual and Usage
Eligible employees accrue one hour of sick leave for every 30 hours worked per leave year, up to a maximum of 40 hours. New employees begin accruing sick leave on their first day of employment. For purposes of this policy, the leave year is any consecutive 12-month period in a calendar year. If you are classified as exempt, you are presumed to work 40 hours per week, unless you are normally scheduled to work fewer than 40 hours, in which case sick leave accrues based on your normal schedule. You may use up to 40 hours of sick leave per leave year, and you may begin using sick leave on your 90th calendar day of employment. The smallest amount of sick leave you may take is one hour. You may carry over up to 40 hours of unused sick leave to the following leave year.
Notice
If the need for leave is foreseeable, you must make a good faith effort to provide advance notice. If unforeseeable, provide notice as soon as practical. If known, notice should include the expected length of the absence.
Documentation
The Company may require you to submit documentation to support your use of sick leave if your absence: Exceeds 24 consecutively scheduled work hours or three consecutive days on which you are scheduled to work; Occurs within two weeks prior to your final scheduled day of work (except in the case of temporary employees); or Occurs after four unforeseeable and undocumented absences within a three-month period. Any reasonable documentation signed by a healthcare provider indicating the need for sick leave for personal illness, the illness of a family member, or a routine medical examination for you or your family member will be acceptable. Required documentation must be submitted within seven days of the absence. Additional time will be allowed if good cause can be shown.
Payment upon Termination
You will not be paid for any unused sick leave when your employment ends.
Interaction with Other Leave
Sick leave will run concurrently with other types of leave when permitted under applicable law. You may choose to use, or the Company may require you to use, paid sick leave to receive pay when taking other statutorily authorized leave that would otherwise be unpaid.
Retaliation
The Company will not retaliate against employees who request or take leave in accordance with this policy. Parental Leave CREA, LLC provides up to eight weeks of unpaid leave in a 12-month period to employees for the birth or adoption of a child. You must work full time and have three consecutive months of employment with the Company to qualify for this leave. You must provide at least two weeks' notice of the anticipated date of departure and the date you intend to return, or provide notice as soon as practicable if there are reasons beyond your control.
