Bereavement Leave
In the event a benefit-eligible team member experiences the death of an immediate family member, they are granted bereavement leave for up to three days (or 24 hours). Bereavement leave is paid at the eligible team member’s current base rate of pay based on their designated FTE status.
Jury Duty
Any team member who has to take time off to serve on a local, state, or federal jury in response to a jury summons may be eligible for jury compensation from the health system. Jury service compensation will be paid to eligible team members only if the jury service occurs during a regularly scheduled work shift and will be paid at the regular base rate for those scheduled work shifts.
Process for Requesting a Leave of Absence
All requests for leaves of absence must be reported at least 30 days in advance of a planned absence. We understand emergencies arise. For an unplanned absence, report as soon as you’re aware that you’ll be absent for 4 consecutive days for a sickness, injury, or other leave reasons.
