After 90 days of employment, all full‐time team members accrue sick leave from the date of hire. Sick<br />

leave is accrued at the rate of 1 ½ days per month, not to exceed 14 days. Three (3) of these days may<br />

be used as Personal Days.<br />

Sick leave may be used for a team member's personal illness, well‐care, and medical and dental<br />

appointments. Sick leave may also be used for illness and well‐care in a team member's immediate<br />

family.<br />

Sick leave may not be used before accrual. If sick leave is exhausted, any available vacation hours will be<br />

used in its place. A team member who has a sick leave absence in excess of three consecutive working<br />

days must present medical documentation for the absence. <strong>Team</strong> members are not paid for unused sick<br />

leave upon termination of employment.<br />

At the anniversary of employment, a full‐time non‐exempt team member may receive a $200 bonus if<br />

no sick or personal leave has been taken in the prior 12 months. This incentive payment will be included<br />

in the earliest possible payroll following the team member’s anniversary date and will be subject to<br />

normal payroll deductions.<br />

Family and Medical Leave Act<br />

Upon hire, <strong>MMI</strong> provides all new team members with notices required by the U.S. Department of Labor<br />

(DOL) on <strong>Team</strong> member Rights and Responsibilities Under the Family and Medical Act .<br />

The function of this policy is to provide team members with a general description of their FMLA rights. In<br />

the event of any conflict between this policy and the applicable law, team members will be afforded all<br />

rights required by law.<br />

If you have any questions, concerns or disputes with this policy, you must contact the Director of Human<br />

Resources in writing.<br />

General Provisions<br />

Under this policy, <strong>MMI</strong> will grant up to 12 weeks (or up to 26 weeks of military caregiver leave to care<br />

for a covered service member with a serious injury or illness) during a 12‐month period to eligible team<br />

members. The leave may be paid, unpaid or a combination of paid and unpaid leave, depending on the<br />

circumstances of the leave and as specified in this policy.<br />

Eligibility<br />

To qualify to take family or medical leave under this policy, the team member must meet the following<br />

conditions:<br />

The team member must have worked for the company for 12 months or 52 weeks. The 12<br />

months or 52 weeks need not have been consecutive. Separate periods of employment will be<br />

counted, provided that the break in service does not exceed seven years. Separate periods of<br />

employment will be counted if the break in service exceeds seven years due to National Guard<br />

or Reserve military service obligations or when there is a written agreement stating the<br />

employer’s intention to rehire the team member after the service break. For eligibility purposes,<br />

a team member will be considered to have been employed for an entire week even if the team<br />

member was on the payroll for only part of a week or if the team member is on leave during the<br />

week.<br />
