BABY BONDING

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the California Family Rights Act (CFRA) allow eligible employees to take additional time off from work for baby-bonding.  This leave of absence is for up to 12 weeks or 60 work days, whichever comes first, after your maternity time off/leave of absence ends.  (Consult your collective bargaining agreement to determine if this is a paid leave of absence or not.) 

Please complete and submit the Application for Family and Medical Leave, Family Member鈥檚 Serious Health Condition Form (PSL 鈥揊007B) to Human Resources. 

EMAIL TO LEAVES@scusd.edu (or submit to Human Resource Services, 5735 47th Avenue, BOX 770, 麻豆视频, CA 95824.) 

(Include a copy of the birth certificate with your application if you have not provided it to HR previously.)  If you are not eligible for a FMLA/CFRA Baby-Bonding Leave there are other leaves outlined in your collective bargaining agreement that may apply to your situation, such as Parental Leave.  If both parents are employed by the District the 12 weeks or 60 days is shared by the parents for FMLA but for CFRA, each employee has baby bonding rights to take this leave and does not need to be shared.
