The program allows the use of five (5) sick days per year to care for immediate family members who are ill, and provides up to 12 weeks of unpaid family or medical leave that can be used following the birth or adoption of a child; to care for a seriously ill child, spouse, or parent; or due to a serious illness which makes the employee unable to work subject to the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).
