If You Are on a Leave of Absence
If You Are on Another Type of Approved Unpaid Leave of Absence
If you are on a Family and Medical Leave (an “FMLA”) or other Leave of Absence, you will be credited with the hours toward Continuous Service that you would have received if you had not been on the Leave of Absence. If those hours cannot be determined, you will receive credit for eight hours each normal workday of your absence.
Key Terms A Leave of Absence means an absence from work that has been approved by the Company on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis to similarly situated employees and that is not a Disability Leave, FMLA, Parental Leave or Military Leave. |
If you are on an unpaid Leave of Absence or FMLA, you will not be permitted to make tax- deferred contributions, Roth contributions, catch-up contributions, or after-tax contributions and will not receive employer matching contributions until you return to work with the Company.
Your Plan Account will continue to be credited with earnings (or losses) during your Leave of Absence or FMLA. If you decide not to return to work with the Company, you may elect to receive your Plan Account, roll it over into another plan or leave it in the Plan in accordance with Distribution Options Upon Termination of Employment.
