An employee shall, at the option of the employee, be entitled to sick pay for the maternity of the employee's spouse. The employee shall be entitled to take up to ten (10) 8-hour days or four (4) 24-hour tours of duty from accrued sick pay for the purpose of staying home to assist the employee's family at the time of the employee's spouse's delivery. It is the parties' express intent that this section shall not be applied or interpreted in such a manner as to cause or constitute a violation of any law, specifically including PL103-3, known as the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, provided, however, that any remedy for violation of this act shall be as set forth in the Act.
