Coordination with Other Leave. Employees requesting family/medical leave shall first exhaust their accrued leave, banked medical leave, and holiday and compensatory time banks before utilizing leave without pay. However, an employee may retain up to the equivalent of one workweek's worth of personal leave on the books when entering into leave without pay. The number of hours in the workweek will depend on the number of hours the employee normally works, e.g., 37.5, 40, 56, or 60. Employees who have exhausted their family/medical leave may request leave without pay under the CBJ Personnel Rules, or the MEBA, IAFF, or PSEA collective bargaining agreements, whichever is applicable. Employees may request donated leave from other CBJ employees to help offset costs associated with leave without pay or employee health co-pay premiums. To exercise this option, employees must exhaust their accrued leave, banked medical leave, holiday, and compensatory time banks and waive their right to retain the equivalent of one workweek's worth of personal leave. When an employee is on a workers' compensation leave because of an on-the-job injury or illness that also qualifies as a serious health condition under FMLA, the workers' compensation leave and family/medical leave will run concurrently.
