Leaves of Absence

The Company provides a variety of leaves: family and medical, sick, jury/witness duty, bereavement, and others. The following applies to all leaves:

You must request a leave from your manager or supervisor as far in advance as possible.
If you will be off work for three consecutive days or will be off work because of a hospitalization, you must file for a leave of absence. The leave will be considered to have started retroactively to the first day you are off work.
All leaves must be approved by your immediate supervisor, the corporate Benefits Department, and the Company's designated leave administrator, Lincoln Financial, before the scheduled leave date.
You may not work for another employer during a leave of absence.
You must return to work on your scheduled return to work date unless you have obtained an approved extension. Failure to return to work may be grounds for termination.

In addition to the leaves described in this section, the Company also provides Workers' Compensation as required by federal law.

The following tables provide a brief overview of leaves available to all employees as well as additional leaves for California employees that are required under California law. This information is not intended to replace or supercede the official Company leave policies. If any information in this summary conflicts with the official policy, the policy will govern.
