FMLA Definitions A “Serious Health Condition” is an illness, injury, impairment, or physical or mental condition that involves either (i) an overnight stay in a medical care facility, or (ii) continuing treatment by a health care provider for a condition that either prevents the employee from performing the functions of the employee’s job, or prevents the qualified family member from participating in school or other daily activities for more than three (3) full calendar days. The continuing treatment requirement includes two (2) visits to a health care provider or one (1) visit to a health care provider and a continuing regimen of care. An incapacity caused by pregnancy or prenatal visits, a chronic condition (such as asthma, diabetes or migraines) that continues over an extended period of time and requires periodic visits (at least two (2) per year) to a health care provider, permanent or long-term conditions requiring supervision but not active treatment by a health care provider, or absences due to multiple treatments ordered by a health care provider may also meet the definition of a Serious Health Condition. CALIFORNIA FAMILY RIGHTS ACT (CFRA) The California Family Rights Act (CFRA) provides eligible employees with the opportunity to take unpaid, job-protected leave for certain specified reasons. The maximum amount of leave an eligible employee may use is twelve (12) weeks within a twelve (12) month period. In most circumstances, the Company anticipates that CFRA leave will run concurrently with leave under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”). In such case(s), the aggregate amount of CFRA leave and/or FMLA leave shall not exceed twelve (12) workweeks in a twelve (12) month period. However, under the following circumstances, CFRA leave will not run concurrently with FMLA leave: Revised January 2024 Page 40 of 55
