The
Family and Medical Leave Act
Employees are eligible to take up to twelve (12) weeks of family/medical
leave within any 12 month period and be restored to the same or an
equivalent position upon return from leave, provided that the employee
has worked for the State of Texas for at least twelve (12) continuous
months and for at least 1,250 hours within that twelve (12) month
period. Leave without pay may begin after all available applicable
paid leave has been exhausted and will be included in the twelve (12)
weeks of Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Applicable Sick Leave
Pool benefits and leave resulting from Workers' Compensation claims
(See Workers Compensation Coverage Policy E-55 for more details) will
be included in the twelve (12) week period. For purposes of the FMLA,
a rolling twelve (12) month period will be measured backward from
the date leave begins.
