Employees on family care or medical leave accrue employment benefits, such as sick leave, vacation benefits, or seniority only when paid leave is being substituted for unpaid leave and only if the employee would otherwise be entitled to such accrual. G. Procedure for Requestine Familv Care and/or Medical Leave 1. Notice Requirements Employees should notify the Agency of their request for family care or medical leave as soon as they are aware of the need for such leave.

For events that are unforeseeable thirty (30) days in advance, but are not emergencies, the employee must notify the Agency as soon as he or she learns of the need for the leave, ordinarily no later than two (2) working days after the employee learns of the need for the leave. If the leave is requested in connection with a planned, non-emergency medical treatment, the employee may be requested to reschedule the treatment so as to minimize disruption of the Agency's business. If the employee fails to provide the requisite thirty (30) day advance notice for foreseeable events without any reasonable excuses for the delay, the Agency reserves the right to delay the taking of the leave until at least thirty (30) days after the date the employee provides notice of the need for family care and/or medical leave. All requests for family care or medical leave should include the anticipated date(s) and duration of the leave.

When this is not possible, employees must provide the required certification within fifteen (15) calendar days after the Agency's request for certification, unless it is not practicable under 14 , I circumstances to do so, despite the employee's good faith effort. Failure to provide the required medical certification may result in the denial of foreseeable leaves until such certification is provided. In the case of unforeseeable leaves, failure to provide the required medical certification within fifteen (15) days of being requested to do so may result in a denial of the employee's continued leave. Any request for an extension of the leave also must be supported by an updated medical certification. Any extensions are subject to this rules and guidelines as stated in this Policy and consistent with applicable law. The medical certification to care for a child, spouse, or parent with a serious health condition shall include: (a) the date on which the serious health condition commenced; (b) the probable duration of the condition; (c) the health care provider's estimate of the amount of time needed for family care; (d) the health care provider's assurance that the health care conditions warrants the participation of the employee to provide family care; and (e) in the case of intermittent or reduced schedule leave where medically necessary, the probable duration of such a schedule.

In addition, the certification may, at the employee's option, identify the nature of the serious health condition involved. If the Agency has reason to doubt the validity of the certification provided by the employee, the Agency may require the employee to obtain a second opinion from a doctor of the Agency's choosing at the Agency's expense. If the employee's health care provider and the doctor providing the second opinion do not agree, the Agency may require a third opinion, also at the Agency's expense, performed by a mutually agreeable doctor who will make a final determination. Before permitting the employee to return to work, the Agency also may require the employee to provide medical certification that he or she is able to return to work. H.
