Employees can charge sick days (SFM) to care for a seriously ill or injured family member for up to 5 occurrences each calendar year. For more information, please go the Sick Leave for Care of a Family Member section in the Employee Handbook.
The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) allows "eligible" employees to take job-protected, unpaid leave, or to substitute appropriate paid leave for up to a total of 12 weeks in a 12 month period. FMLA leave will be granted for the birth of a child, adoption or foster care of a child, to care for a family member (child, spouse or parent) with a serious health condition, or due to the employee's own serious health condition. For more information, please go to the Family and Medical Leave Act section of the SBMS.
Brookhaven offers two flexible spending accounts, the health care account, to help you offset rising medical costs, and the dependent day care account, to help you with day care costs. These accounts allow you to allocate pre-tax dollars from your paycheck to cover eligible out-of-pocket health care or dependent day care expenses. For more information, please go to Flexible Spending Accounts.
The Laboratory provides eligible employees financial assistance for certain expenses related to adoption of an unrelated minor child. For more information, please go to Adoption Assistance.
