Policies
Summary

Groups throughout the United States realize the importance of providing their employees with appropriate
personnel policies. Through group efforts, including input from ongoing employee opinion surveys, certain
policies are addressed on a coordinated basis. The Personnel Policies Summary describes these coordinated
policies. At their own discretion, each group may elect to implement its own personnel policies unique to its
operations and employees.

Phase-Back Period
Maternity and adoption leaves also include a phase-
back period permitting a gradual return to work. All
full-time employees, regardless of length of service,
who are returning from maternity or adoption leave
and are primary caregivers, are eligible for the phase-
back period. Employees who are not eligible for paid
maternity or adoption leave are eligible for phase-
back as long as he or she is the primary caregiver.
Employees receive 100 percent pay during the phase-
back period. The advantage of the phase-back period
is that employees are provided full pay upon return
from maternity or adoption leave without having to
work a full week. The phase-back provides an employee
returning from maternity or adoption leave with a full
week’s pay (i.e., 40 hours of pay or more depending on
the employee’s normal schedule) for working a reduced
schedule during weeks one through four, with a
return to regular hours, as appropriate for the position,
during week five. These enhanced benefits apply unless
