TEAM MEMBER BENEFITS AND LEAVE OF ABSENCE PROGRAMS
single 12 month period begins on the first day you take FMLA leave to provide care for the covered servicemember . Any FMLA time taken for any other reason during this single 12 month period shall count against the 26 weeks of leave available to care for the covered servicemember . Similarly , any FMLA time taken to care for a covered servicemember shall count against the 12 weeks of leave available to you for any other reason .
Spouses
Spouses who both work for us are limited to a combined total of 12 weeks of leave for the birth of a child , adoption or placement of a child in foster care , to care for a parent with a serious health condition . Similarly , if you and your spouse both work for us , you are both limited to a combined total of 26 weeks of leave to care for a covered servicemember .
Team Member Benefits During Leave
While you are on leave , we will continue your medical , dental , and other benefits during the leave period at the same level and under the same conditions as if you had continued to work . For information about premium payments during your leave , see our Impact of Leaves of Absence on Team Member Benefits policy .
Use of Paid and Unpaid Leave
FMLA leave is unpaid . However , we require that you use all available paid time off during any FMLA leave , except where you are receiving worker ’ s compensation , short-term disability , or similar wage replacement benefits . Notwithstanding any other policy to the contrary , during periods of intermittent FMLA leave , paid time off can be used in the same increment as the amount of FMLA leave taken .
For information about what happens to your insurance benefits , PTO accruals , and eligibility for holiday pay during leave taken under this policy , see our Impact of Leaves of Absence on Team Member Benefits policy .
Intermittent Leave or a Reduced Work Schedule
In addition to taking leave in consecutive blocks of time , you may be allowed to take time off intermittently ( i . e ., reduced workweeks or reduced workdays ) if needing leave for one of the following reasons :
• Your serious health condition ;
• The serious health condition of your spouse , parent , or child ;
• To provide care for a covered servicemember with a serious injury or illness incurred or aggravated in the line of duty while on active duty ; or
• Due to a qualifying exigency if you are the spouse , child , or parent of an individual who is on , or is about to be on , covered active duty .
To qualify for intermittent leave , you must show that the intermittent leave is medically necessary or related to a “ qualifying exigency .” If leave is taken on an intermittent or reduced leave schedule due to foreseeable leave needs ( other than qualifying exigencies ), we may temporarily transfer you to an alternative position with equivalent pay and benefits .
