Lupin Employee Handbook

Voting Leave

When there is not sufficient time at the beginning or end of the work shift to participate in an
election, an employee will be provided with time off to allow him/her to vote, as required by law.

Bereavement Leave

Full-time employees may request up to three (3) days of paid leave to attend to needs relating to
the death of a member of the employee’s immediate family (spouse, grandparent, parent, step
parent, child, sibling, in-laws, step children, or grandchild). Bereavement leave may be taken in
half day and full day increments only. The three (3) leave days are not required to be taken
consecutively, but they must be used within a reasonable time after the close-relative’s death.

The employee must notify his or her supervisor/manager as soon as he or she is aware of the need
for bereavement leave. Lupin understands the deep impact that death may have on an individual
or family, and therefore may grant additional unpaid time off at Lupin’s discretion. Lupin reserves
the right to request written verification of the employee’s need for bereavement leave.

Military Leave

Lupin grants and treats military leaves of absence and reemployment in accordance with applicable
federal, state, and local laws.

Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)

The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) allows “eligible” employees to take job-
protected, unpaid leave, or to substitute appropriate paid leave if the employee has earned or
accrued it, for up to a total of 12 work weeks in any 12 month period for specified reasons below.

To be “Eligible” an employee must:

• Have been employed for at least 12 months; and
• Worked at least 1,250 hours during the last 12-month period immediately preceding the
commencement of the leave.

Additionally, at least 50 employees must be employed by Lupin within 75 miles.

The 12-week FMLA leave may be taken during a rolling 12-month period measured backward
from the date an employee uses any FMLA leave.

Qualified Reasons for Leave:

Family Leave

• To care for the employee’s child after birth; or
• Placement of a child for adoption or foster care with the employee.
