Common use of Intermittent and Reduced Schedule Leave Clause in Contracts

Intermittent and Reduced Schedule Leave. 1. Leave for a bargaining unit employee’s own serious illness or for a seriously ill member of the bargaining unit employee’s covered relation may be taken intermittently (in separate blocks of time) and a reduced work schedule is allowable. 2. Intermittent leave is not available during family leave for the birth, adoption or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ placement of a child, unless the birthing parent has a serious illness in conjunction with the birth of a child or the child has a serious illness. 3. During family leave for the birth, adoption or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ placement of a child, a reduced work schedule may be arranged with the manager’s approval. A reduced work schedule does not extend the leave period when such a schedule is agreed upon. A reduced leave schedule occurs when the number of hours or days a bargaining unit employee works is reduced on a daily or weekly basis. For example, a full-time bargaining unit employee on an approved 12-week leave for the birth of child may, with manager’s approval, return to work on a part-time basis for the last 4 weeks of that 12-week period. 4. Leave due to a qualifying exigency may also be taken on an intermittent or reduced work schedule basis. 5. Both exempt and non-exempt bargaining unit employees will be paid based on the amount of time actually worked. In addition, in certain circumstances, while the bargaining unit employee is on an intermittent or reduced schedule leave, the bargaining unit employee may be temporarily transferred to an available alternative position which better accommodates the bargaining unit employee’s recurring leave and which has equivalent pay and benefits. 6. The bargaining unit employee must make reasonable efforts to ensure that intermittent leave does not unduly disrupt the workplace.
