SPF Absence Information
ATTENTION EMPLOYEES
Effective January 1, 2008, the Commonwealth’s sick leave without pay, parental leave without pay, and family care leave without pay provisions are changing for the groups of employees identified below. The absence entitlement for all three types of leave is now combined, and the new provision is commonly referred to as SPF (sick, parental, family care) Absence. It provides one six month paid and/or unpaid absence entitlement with the right to use intermittent or reduced-time absence during the initial 12 weeks of the entitlement. Up to six months of leave without pay without benefits is also provided for continuing absences.
Note: Although the absence entitlement is now combined, the absence types remain referenced in separate provisions (separate Articles for those employees covered by Collective Bargaining Agreements). The SPF Absence provisions have no impact on paid sick leave used for reasons that are not considered serious health conditions.
Employees are responsible for notifying their supervisor of the need for an SPF Absence. SPF Absence includes: A serious health condition of an employee; a serious health condition of a qualifying family member, when the employee is attending to the medical needs of the family member; or for the birth, adoption or foster care placement of a child. SPF Absence will be designated as leave under the provisions of the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993.
As always, it is important to maintain a “healthy” sick leave balance to avoid needing to use unpaid absence. Sick leave is one of the most valuable benefits you earn as a Commonwealth employee. It provides protection when you become unable to work due to illness or injury.
This new change affects the following groups of employees:
AFSCME - PUC Attorney
PSSU (& UC Referees) - OPEIU
SEIU 1199P - UGSOA
UFCW - FOSCEP
ISSU - FOP-Capitol Police
FOP-LCB/State Police - PA LCB LLEO 3
Management and Non-represented
Beginning January 1, 2008, employees that have access to Employee Self-Service (ESS) will be able to view their SPF Absence eligibility and entitlement. For more detailed information regarding the new SPF provisions, please use the following link, www.spf.state.pa.us.
