Exempt, Excluded, Managerial, Supervisory, and Confidential non-represented employees, and employees represented by a specific bargaining unit that has Family Care Leave (FCL) language in a ratified MOU, who are enrolled in the Annual Leave Program, are eligible for Non-Industrial Disability Insurance - FCL. This program provides partial wages for up to six weeks within any 12-month period. All other NDI rules, requirements, and processes remain the same.
To qualify, employees must be unable to perform their regular or customary work due to the need to care for a seriously ill family member or to bond with a new child, including children who are adopted or a foster care placement. A family member for purposes of NDI-FCL means child, parent, parent-in-law, grandparent, grandchild, sibling, spouse, or registered domestic partner.
