HR LEAVE ACT POSTER

Notice of Employee Leave Rights

This notice summarizes certain rights and obligations under the applicable leave statute (the "Act"). An employee who meets the eligibility requirements set forth in the Act is entitled to take job-protected leave for qualifying reasons. It is unlawful for any employer to interfere with, restrain, or deny the exercise of rights provided under the Act, or to discriminate or retaliate against any individual for exercising these rights.

Eligibility

Employees who have been employed by this employer for at least months and who have worked at least hours in the prior 12-month period may be eligible. Eligibility is determined in accordance with the Act and applicable implementing regulations.

Leave Entitlement

An eligible employee is entitled to up to weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave during a 12-month period for: the birth and care of a newborn child; placement of a child for adoption or foster care; the employee's own serious health condition; the care of an immediate family member with a serious health condition; or qualifying exigencies arising from a family member's active military duty.

Employee Notice and Certification Procedures

When leave is foreseeable, employees must provide at least 30 days' advance written notice. When leave is unforeseeable, employees must provide notice as soon as practicable. The employer may require medical certification supporting the need for leave, and may request periodic recertification and second or third opinions consistent with the Act. Failure to provide timely and sufficient certification may result in denial or delay of leave.

Employer Responsibilities

The employer must: maintain health benefits under the same terms as if the employee continued to work; restore the employee to the same or an equivalent position upon return from leave, subject to applicable exceptions; and keep required records demonstrating compliance with the Act. Designated employer representatives will respond to leave requests and provide required written notices regarding eligibility, designation of leave as protected, and rights and responsibilities.

Health Benefits and Job Restoration

During leave, group health plan coverage will be maintained on the same terms as if the employee continued to work. If the employee fails to return from leave, the employer may recover premiums paid for maintaining health coverage as permitted by law. Upon return from leave, an employee will be reinstated to the same or an equivalent position with equivalent pay, benefits, and terms and conditions of employment, subject to the Act's limitations.

Prohibited Acts; Enforcement

It is unlawful to interfere with, restrain, or deny the exercise of rights provided by the Act, or to discharge or discriminate against any person for opposing any practice made unlawful by the Act or for participating in any proceeding under the Act. Employees may file complaints with the designated enforcement authority or seek other remedies provided by law.

The employer certifies that this notice has been posted in a conspicuous place and furnished to employees in accordance with the Act's posting and notice requirements.
