May an employee take intermittent or reduced schedule leave for postnatal care?
Yes. Leave taken for childbirth or placement may be taken intermittently or on a reduced schedule, with the approval of the department head. Leave taken for childbirth on an intermittent or reduced schedule shall be taken after the presumed six-week recovery period. In addition, leave for childbirth, foster care or adoption must be taken within 12 months of the date of the birth or placement of the child.
