The FMLA leave entitlement period will be a rolling twelve (12) month period measured forward from the date an employee begins FMLA leave. Each time an employee takes FMLA leave during the twelve (12) month period, the leave will be subtracted from the twelve (12) weeks of available leave. 3. The Employer will continue the employee's existing Employer-paid health insurance, life insurance and disability insurance benefits during the period of leave covered by FMLA. The employee will be required to pay their share of health insurance, life insurance and disability insurance premiums. 4. The Employer has the authority to designate absences that meet the criteria of the FMLA. The use of any paid or unpaid leave (excluding leave for a work-related illness or injury) for an FMLA-qualifying event will run concurrently with, not in addition to, the use of the FMLA for that event. 5. Serious health condition leave consistent with the requirements of the FMLA will be granted to an employee in order to care for a spouse, son, daughter, parent or domestic partner as defined by WAC ▇▇▇-▇▇-▇▇▇ (2) who suffers from a serious medical condition that requires on-site care or supervision by the employee. Personal medical leave consistent with the requirements of the FMLA will be granted to an employee for their own serious health condition that requires the employee’s absence from work. The Employer may require that such personal medical leave or serious health condition leave be supported by certification from the employee’s or family member's health care provider.
