In the unfortunate event of the death of an immediate family member you will receive ten days of leave for a spouse, domestic partner or child.

For family members covered under this policy please refer to the LOA Standard.
Sometimes you need to take an extended period of time away from work to care for a new baby or family member or to recover from an illness. Through the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), you may be eligible to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave.
Qualifying situations include:
To be eligible for Family and Medical Leave, you must have been employed by the Company* for a total of at least 12 months within the last 7 years. You must also have worked at least 1,250 hours for the Company during the 12 calendar months immediately preceding the commencement of your FMLA leave.**
* You must have been employed at a covered worksite — a site with at least 50 employees within a 75-miles radius.
**Under USERRA regulations, the time spent fulfilling an employee’s military service obligations will be counted in determining whether the employee meets the 1,250 hour and 12 month requirements.
