Family and Medical Leave
Federal law and SAIC policy determine eligibility for family and medical leave. Eligible employees may take up to 12 weeks of unpaid family and medical leave. SAIC will continue health care coverage for a participant and covered dependents while the participant is on approved family or medical leave unless the participant elects to suspend coverage during the leave. If continued coverage is elected, the participant is responsible for the same contribution paid while working. If suspension of coverage is elected, the same elections in effect prior to the leave will be reinstated when the participant returns to work, unless the participant experiences a qualified status change.
