Question: We have an employee who adopted a child last year and took parental leave for 12 weeks - from May 9 to Aug. 1, 2004. We use a `rolling back' leave year, and this same employee just adopted a second child on Jan. 31, 2005. Is she eligible for another 12 weeks of parental leave at this point?
Answer: No. You could choose to grant the additional time off under your company policy, but because of the rolling leave year method your company uses, the earliest time at which this employee could be eligible for another 12 weeks of legally protected parental leave would be May 9, 2005.
