MNPL requires an event to be a seven-day qualifying event unless intermittent. Intermittent leave <br />results in a pro-rated benefit paid from the state and provides employers the option to cap <br />intermittent leave at 480 hours in a 12-month period. The minimum increment of leave must be <br />taken one full calendar day. An applicant is not permitted to apply for payment for benefits <br />associated with intermittent leave until the applicant has eight hours of accumulated leave time, <br />unless more than 30 calendar days have lapsed since the initial taking of the leave.” <br /> <br />A) Eligibility <br />In addition to the other eligibility requirements under the MN Paid Leave law, employees seeking <br />intermittent leave must have at least eight hours of accumulated leave (unless more than 30 days <br />have lapsed since taking the initial leave). <br /> <br />B) Notice <br />In situations where employees seek MNPL on an intermittent basis, employees must make a <br />reasonable effort to provide written notice to the City Administrator of the need for intermittent <br />leave before applying for MNPL benefits through the MN Paid Leave Program. As part of the <br />notice, employees must provide the City with the following: 1) proposed intermittent leave <br />schedule; and 2) a completed certification from a health care provider identifying the leave as <br />necessary and a reasonable estimate of the frequency and duration and treatment schedule for <br />the leave. <br /> <br />C) Increments of Leave & Maximum Number of Hours <br />Consistent with other forms of leave provided by the City, employees may take intermittent leave <br />in increments of one calendar day [or replace with smaller amounts if allowed in other policies]. <br />If eligible for intermittent leave, the City allows a maximum of 480 hours of intermittent leave in <br />any 12-month period. After reaching the maximum amount of allowed intermittent leave, <br />employees may request continuous MNPL provided the continuous leave does not exceed the <br />maximum amount of MNPL allowed by law. <br /> <br />Definitions <br />• Family member includes: <br />o Spouse or partner <br />o Child (including biological, adopted, step, or foster children, or a child you raise <br />even if you are not legally related) <br />o Parent or person who raised you <br />o Sibling <br />o Grandchild or grandparent <br />o In-laws (including son, daughter, father, or mother) <br />o Anyone close to you who depends on you like family, even if not related by blood <br /> <br />• A serious health condition means a physical or mental illness, injury, impairment, <br />condition, or substance use disorder.
