The Essential Guide to Family & Medical Leave

appendix B | company policies regarding FMLA leave | 349
Sample
[Option 2—if the company allows employee benefits to continue and/or accrue,
but only during paid leave] If your family or medical leave is paid leave, discussed
above, all employee benefits will continue and accrue during the period of the
paid family or medical leave.
[Option 3—if the company allows employee benefits to continue and/or accrue
during all types of leave] In addition to the health care benefits discussed above,
employee benefits continue and accrue during the family or medical leave period.
You will be required to reimburse the company for the portion of the benefits’
premiums for which you are usually responsible for but which the company paid
during the leave.
12. Premium Payments
Any premium payments for which you are responsible during the leave period
must be paid on or before your regular payday. If you fail to make timely payment
of the premiums, your benefit coverage, including insurance coverage, may be
discontinued.
13. [Option] Status Reports
You must periodically contact the human resources manager during your leave
and inform the manager of your status and intent to return to work.
14. [Option] Moonlighting
You may not work for another employer while on family or medical leave. Such
outside employment is grounds for immediate termination.
15. Reinstatement
When you return from family or medical leave, you have the right to return to
your former position or an equivalent position, except:
• You have no greater right to reinstatement than you would have had if you
had not been on leave. If your position is restructured for reasons unrelated to
your leave, for example, you have no right to reinstatement to the exact same
position you held before leave.
