An employee may take family and medical leave on an intermittent basis or by reducing the number of hours worked if medically necessary and if the leave is taken in order to care for a sick family member as defined above or for the employee's own serious health condition. Only upon the employer's written approval may an employee take leave intermittently or by working a reduced work week for the birth of a child or because of placement for adoption or foster care. An employee who requests intermittent leave may be temporarily transferred to another position which would better accommodate his or her absences, if the new position has comparable pay and benefits.
