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 />
