Blood Donation Leave
Lupin permits employees who work more than 20 hours per week to take leave to donate blood.
Employees who wish to take leave provided under this Section must submit a request to Human
Resources as far in advance as practicable for blood donation leave.
Eligible employees may take up to three (3) hours of unpaid leave during a twelve-month period
to donate blood. Lupin reserves the right to request verification of the employee’s blood donation
from the organization facilitating the donation.
Any leave taken pursuant to this section shall be unpaid. Leave taken under this section will run
concurrently with other types of leave provided by the Company. Employees may choose to use
available accrued but unused PTO in lieu of unpaid leave. Any leave that is accrued under this
policy, but not used, will not carry over to the next calendar year. Exempt employees may be
provided time off with pay when necessary to comply with state and federal wage and hour laws.
New York Paid Family Leave
In addition to the leave benefits provided by the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA),
the New York Paid Family Leave Benefits law allows “eligible” employees to take job-protected,
paid leave for up to a total of 12 work weeks in any 12 month period for specified reasons detailed
below. To be “eligible,” an employee must have been employed for at least 26 consecutive weeks
for full-time employees, or 175 days for part-time employees.
Qualified Reasons for Leave
Employee may utilize paid family leave for the following reasons:
• To provide care for a family member because of the family member’s serious health
condition;
• To bond and care for the employee’s child during the first twelve months after birth; or
after placement of a child for adoption or foster care with the employee; or
• To attend to obligations arising because the spouse, child, or parent of the employee is on
active duty or has been notified of an impending call to active duty in the United States
Armed Forces.
For paid family leave to bond and care for the employee’s child, the leave must be completed
within 12 months of the birth, adoption or foster placement. The right to leave applies to both
parents of the child. If both spouses are employed by Employer, both spouses may not take paid
family leave at the same time for the same family leave recipient, or to bond and care for their
child.
For puposes of taking paid family leave to care for a family member with a serious health
condition, “family member” includes and employee’s spouse, domestic partner, child, parent,
parent-in-law, grandparent, or grandchild.
