As a caring, family fostering community, Geneva strives to support employees who are experiencing new parenthood situations through the birth of a child or legal adoption. To this end, the school has established this policy, to provide certain benefits to eligible employees in addition to those that may be available to them under Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and other State or School-based policies.
Eligibility for this leave by the employed mother or father of the newborn/adopted child begins after one year of service with the School and is expressly for recuperation from childbirth and/or initial care/bonding with the newborn child or adoptee.
Eligible employees will receive ten (10) days of paid leave to run concurrently with FMLA leave, beginning with the employee’s first day of FMLA leave.
