<br />58 <br /> <br />The foregoing Pregnancy Leave provision shall be subject to applicable federal <br />and state law. Pregnancy Disability Leave, Family Medical Leave and California <br />Family Rights Act will run concurrently with MOU Pregnancy Leave as permitted <br />by law, and in accordance with City Policy, as periodically amended. <br /> <br />18.9 Parental Leave of Absence Without Pay <br /> <br />Parental leave of absence may be granted, at the Fire Chief’s discretion, upon <br />request to qualifying employees for the purpose of parent-child bonding <br />following the birth of the employee’s child or the placement of a child in the <br />employee’s family for adoption or foster care, for a period of up to one (1) year. <br />The combination of pregnancy leave and parental leave will not exceed one (1) <br />year. <br /> <br />The employee on leave shall be returned to their original position upon <br />returning from leave. However, if that position has been eliminated, applicable <br />layoff and reemployment rules shall apply. <br /> <br />A parental leave is granted without pay for the duration of leave. Where an <br />employee has accrued paid vacation, administrative leave, compensatory time, <br />or sick leave, that paid leave may be substituted for all or part of any unpaid <br />parental leave. The City may also require use of paid accrued leave during <br />parental leave in accordance with City policy (as periodically amended) and <br />Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), California Family Rights Act (CFRA), and <br />Pregnancy Disability Leave (PDL) regulations. The employee may elect to <br />continue medical and dental insurance coverage for up to one (1) year. Medical <br />and dental insurance coverage during any unpaid portion of parental leave that <br />does not run concurrently with FMLA, CFRA or PDL will be at the employee’s <br />own expense. <br /> <br />Family Medical Leave and California Family Rights Act Leave will run <br />concurrently with Parental Leave as permitted by law. <br /> <br />In any case in which two employees of the City are entitled to parental leave for <br />the same child, the aggregate number of workweeks of parental leave to which <br />both may be entitled shall be limited to 52 workweeks during any 12 -month <br />period. <br /> <br />18.10 Leave for Pregnancy Disability <br /> <br />In accordance with the California Fair Employment and Housing Act and City <br />policy (as periodically amended), employees are entitled to pregnancy disability <br />leave. <br /> <br />6.A. - Page 69 of 99 <br />76
