employee is qualified that accommodates recurring periods of leave better than the employee’s regular position. Employees who elect a part-time schedule shall receive prorated compensated time off benefits in accordance with Section 4.110 of this Code during the duration of their part-time schedule. In accordance with the California Family Rights Act (CFRA), leave for the birth, adoption, or foster care placement of a child of an employee (“bonding” leave) does not have to be taken in one continuous period of time. Under CFRA, the basic minimum duration of bonding leave is two weeks, and on any two occasions an employee is entitled to this bonding leave for a time period of less than two weeks’ duration. Any other form of intermittent leave, or work on a reduced schedule, for the purpose of bonding leave shall only be permitted at the discretion of Management. Bonding leave must be concluded within one year of the birth or placement of the child. 8. If any employee requires another leave for a separate incident under the provisions of this section during the same 12-month period, a new request must be submitted. 9. A personal leave beyond the four month (nine pay periods) of leave provided in this section may be requested, subject to the approval of the appointing authority and, if required, the Personnel Department, as provided under other City leave provisions. 10. Management has the right to request and verify the certification of a serious health condition by a health care provider for a leave under the provisions of this section. Management shall allow the employee at least 15 calendar days to obtain the medical certification. 11. Upon return from family or medical leave, an employee shall be returned to the employee’s original job or to an equivalent job. (e) Notice Requirements. 1. Employee. When an employee requests family or medical leave, the employee must state the reason for the requested leave (e.g., childbirth, to care for an immediate family member with a serious health condition, etc.). When the necessity for a leave is foreseeable, the employee must provide at least 30 days’ notice. However, if the leave must begin in less than 30 days, the employee must provide as much advance notice as is practicable. 2. Management.
