\/>  CC offers a variety of leave options to support you as an employee, and we know navigating those options can sometimes feel confusing.

Supervisors ensure entries are&nbsp;accurate&nbsp;and&nbsp;that&nbsp;time is recorded in Banner SSB.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"Margin:0\"><strong>Sick Leave<\/strong>&nbsp;<br \/>  Used when an employee is unable to work due to illness, injury, or medical appointments. Sick leave may be taken intermittently when medically necessary.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"Margin:0\"><strong>Family and Medical Leave (FMLA \/ Colorado FAMLI)<\/strong>&nbsp;<br \/>  Leave may be continuous or intermittent. Not all leave types can be taken&nbsp;all at once, so employees should consult HR for guidance before making assumptions about eligibility or timing.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"Margin:0\"><strong>Workplace Accommodations<\/strong>&nbsp;<br \/>  If medical limitations affect an employee\u2019s ability to perform their job duties, accommodations may be&nbsp;requested. Supervisors are not responsible for evaluating medical needs; instead, HR can support employees and guide the interactive process.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table align=\"center\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"row row-8\" role=\"presentation\" style=\"mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0;background-color:#fff\" width=\"100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<table align=\"center\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"row-content stack\" role=\"presentation\" style=\"mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0;background-color:#fff;color:#000;width:600px;margin:0 auto\" width=\"600\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"column column-1\" style=\"mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0;font-weight:400;text-align:left;background-color:#fff;padding-top:5px;vertical-align:top\" width=\"100%\">\n<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"10\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"paragraph_block block-1\" role=\"presentation\" style=\"mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0;word-break:break-word\" width=\"100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"pad\">\n<div style=\"color:#000;direction:ltr;font-family:Arial,'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0;line-height:1.5;text-align:left;mso-line-height-alt:24px\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;margin-bottom:16px\"><strong>Supervisors\u2019&nbsp;Role in Supporting Leave<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0;margin-bottom:16px\"><strong>Leave Conversations<\/strong>&nbsp;<br \/>  Supervisors should listen when employees mention medical needs, time away, or&nbsp;potential leave, and&nbsp;promptly refer them to Human Resources.&nbsp;Supervisors should not attempt to interpret policy, determine eligibility, or manage medical documentation on their own.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0;margin-bottom:16px\"><strong>Ensure Policy-Aligned Leave Use<\/strong>&nbsp;<br \/>  When an employee is out for an extended period or has qualified for a leave type, supervisors should help ensure the employee is using the appropriate leave category and following the required steps.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0;margin-bottom:16px\"><strong>Maintain&nbsp;Confidentiality<\/strong>&nbsp;<br \/>  Employee privacy is critical. Supervisors should not share medical or personal details with others. At times, supervisors may ask the employee what (if anything) they are comfortable sharing with the team\u2014and keep it minimal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0;margin-bottom:16px\"><strong>Support Intermittent Leave Communication<\/strong>&nbsp;<br \/>  Employees&nbsp;on intermittent leave (including intermittent FMLA) must notify their supervisors when they are out and ensure their time entries are&nbsp;accurate. Clear communication keeps records consistent and helps teams plan coverage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0;margin-bottom:16px\"><strong>HR Is Here to Help<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0;margin-bottom:16px\">Employees and supervisors should not navigate leave policies on their own.
