I have read the contractual requirements and understand the conditions that apply to the requested child care leave.
Blue and White Collar Agreements:
- A full-time employee will be deemed eligible for child care leave of absence upon working 1,250 hours in the prior year (September1-August 31), or having
worked 1,250 hours in the current year.
- A child care leave of absence without pay for a period not to exceed 48 months shall be granted to an employee (male or female) who becomes a parent of a
child up to four (4) years of age, either by birth or adoption.
- An employee shall exhaust his/her accrued annual leave prior to the start of child care leave. Time on annual leave shall not be included in the child care leave.
- The use of the 48-month maximum allowance can be authorized only one time for an employee.
- Any other child care leave of the employee shall be limited to a maximum period of 36 months.
- An employee returning to work before exhausting the allotted child care leave will be deemed to have waived the remaining child care leave.

extensions, each extension to be a minimum of 6 months.
- Extensions of leave must be taken consecutively.
- In no case may the initial leave period, plus the one or two extensions, total more than 48 months or 36 months.

cumulative total of four or more years for the City of New York and/or the University.
