2015 GNYADA Employee Handbook

In circumstances where practicable, GNYADA will consider flexible arrangements whereby an employee on leave returns on a part time basis and/or performs services for GNYADA while at home. Such arrangements may not be practicable for all positions and GNYADA reserves the right to determine whether, and to what extent, such flexible arrangements will be permitted. GNYADA requires all employees to first use any available paid sick and vacation leave before taking an unpaid leave of absence unless the absence is covered by workers’ compensation. The availability of paid sick or vacation leave does not extend the maximum duration of any medical leave, which is eight (8) weeks.

Military Leave

The Company grants military leave in accordance with federal and state law.

Leave for Blood Donation

Employees who work on average at least 20 hours per week are entitled to:

 up to 3 hours of unpaid leave in any 12-month period to donate blood; or

 at the option of GNYADA, donate blood during working time twice per year at a

convenient time and place established by GNYADA.

Leave for Bone Marrow Donation

Employees who elect to have a medical procedure for the donation of bone marrow may receive

as much time needed (determined by the employee’s physician) not to exceed 24 total hours of

leave, unless GNYADA consents.

Leave of Absence for Military Spouse

The spouse of a member of the armed forces of the United States, national guard or reserves,

that has been deployed during a period of military conflict, to a combat theater or combat

zone of operations may take up to 10 days of unpaid leave. The leave can only be used by the

employee when his or her spouse is on leave from the military while deployed during a period

of military conflict to a combat theater or zone of operations.
