Employee Benefits: Parental Leave of Absence

Employees are entitled to a parental leave of absence, not to exceed twelve weeks, for the birth of a natural child or the adoption of a child. This period begins with the date of birth or the adoption or foster care placement with the employee of a child. Employees may use available compensatory time, vacation or leave without pay for this period. Sick leave is strictly limited to those situations clearly falling within the definition of sick leave.
