Eligible staff can take up to 24 hours of unpaid
leave per year to participate in school activities directly related to the educational
advancement of the employee's dependent or to accompany the employee's dependent
to routine medical or dental appointments. The college will measure the 12-month
period as a rolling 12-month period measured back from the date you use any leave
under this policy. This law also covers eligible employees who need to accompany
an elderly relative to routine medical, dental, or other appointments related to
professional care of the relative. An elderly relative is defined as an individual
60 years of age or older who is related to the employee by blood, marriage, or same-sex
domestic partnership.
Eligibility
To be eligible, employees
must have worked at Smith College for 12 months and accrued 1,250 hours in the year
immediately preceding the leave. Employees are asked to give at least one week of
notice if the need for this leave is foreseeable. If leave is unforeseeable, the
employee must give as much notice as is practical under the circumstances. As in
the case of the FMLA, you may elect to substitute any available paid vacation or
personal time for the unpaid leave.
Departments may require that leave requests be supported
by certification.
