(a) During leave, the FMLA does not require accrual of employment benefits, such as vacation
pay, sick days, seniority, etc. Accordingly, during FMLA leave, accrual of benefits
and seniority shall be on the same basis as for any other unpaid leave of absence.
Pension benefits will be determined in accordance with DOL rules. Employment benefits
to which an employee may be entitled on the day on which the family and medical leave
of absence begins will not be lost because of such leave, except for those paid leave
days substituted for leave taken under this policy as described above. Upon return
from FMLA leave, employees are entitled to any changes in benefit plans not dependent
upon seniority or accrual during the leave period. (See section 2-221.05.)
(b) Employees will not be disqualified from bonuses based upon attendance or safety for
which they qualified prior to leave because of the taking of FMLA leave.
