Military Leave
Members of the U.S. armed forces are eligible for a variety of benefits when called to active duty. The leave benefits may include: 30 calendar days of State pay per fiscal year; up to two years of salary compensation for the difference between military pay and State pay; salary increases and continued vacation/sick leave accrual while receiving State pay; continuation of medical coverage for up to 180 days; and the right to return to the same (or similar) position. State employees who are members of the California National Guard or a U.S. military reserve organization may also be entitled to certain benefits if ordered to active duty.
Industrial Disability Leave (IDL)
Employees who are temporarily disabled due to a work-related injury are eligible to receive IDL in lieu of temporary disability benefits. IDL allows an employee to receive two-thirds of his or her gross pay during the period of disability for up to 52 weeks. Health and/or dental benefits continue while the employee is on leave due to a work-related injury.
State Disability Insurance (SDI)
SDI is an employee-paid disability insurance program. Participating employees can have part of their wages covered under SDI if they have to stop working due to a non work-related illness, or injury. SDI also covers an employee if they take time off due to pregnancy or childbirth, or bond with a minor child (under age 18) within one year of its birth, adoption, or foster care placement. In addition, SDI covers time off to care for a seriously ill child, spouse, parent, or domestic partner. Certain supervisors, managers, and confidential employees are not covered under SDI.
Nonindustrial Disability Insurance (NDI)
NDI is an employer-paid disability insurance program. Certain supervisors, managers, and confidential employees who are unable to work due to a non work-related injury may continue to receive a portion of their wages through NDI (in lieu of sick leave or vacation leave). In addition, employees continue their health, dental, and vision benefits while receiving NDI benefits. Employees participating in the Annual Leave Program and non-represented employees (supervisors, managers, and confidential employees) may use annual leave or sick leave to supplement NDI benefits and receive up to 100 percent of their gross pay.
Mentoring Leave
To encourage employees to help today's youth, State Fund provides its participating employees with paid Mentoring Leave. For every hour that an employee participates in mentoring activities through a qualified organization, State Fund matches an hour of paid leave for use in future mentoring assignments. Employees can receive up to 40 hours of paid Mentoring Leave per calendar year.
Family Participation
Employees are entitled to use up to 40 hours of leave credits (such as vacation, annual, or personal leave) each year to participate in the school- and non-school-related activities of their children. This benefit is available to employees with children attending kindergarten or grades 1 through 12.
Family Crisis Leave
Employees are also eligible to use leave credits (such as vacation leave or sick leave) to attend to family-crisis situations. Qualifying situations include, but are not limited to: divorce counseling, family or parental conflict management, family-care urgent matters and/or emergencies.
