FMLA Leave
FMLA Leave What’s an FMLA Leave? Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) Leave is available when you need to be away from work due to a family or medical situation. FMLA Leave provides unpaid, protected leave for: • Pregnancy, prenatal medical care and child birth. • Adoption or foster care placement. • Caring for a family member* with a serious health condition. • Your own serious health condition. • Certain military reasons, such as caring for a family member*
who is injured during service.
Having a Baby? File for an FMLA Leave to take care of yourself and your growing baby. FMLA benefits may vary by state. Contact Matrix Absence Management (Matrix) for more information.
Am I eligible? You’re eligible for FMLA Leave if: • You’ve worked at McKesson for at least 12 months combined. • You’ve worked at least 1,250 hours in the last 12 months. • Your reason for leave is covered under federal and state laws. • You have FMLA Leave time available. • You provide supporting documents requested by Matrix.
Am I paid during my FMLA Leave? FMLA Leave is unpaid. However, if your leave is covered under FMLA “only,” you must use accrued PTO during your leave. If you’re on an approved FMLA Leave and approved for McKesson-paid short term disability (STD) benefits, accrued PTO is applied for the first seven days of your STD period. After the first seven days, STD benefits may replace your basic weekly earnings. The chart below shows how and when you receive PTO and STD pay.

How long can I be on FMLA Leave? You can be on FMLA Leave for up to 12 weeks during a 12-month period, and you don’t need to use all 12 weeks at once. You can take your leave intermittently or on a reduced leave schedule when medically necessary. You may take up to 26 weeks of leave in a single 12-month period to care for a seriously ill or injured covered servicemember. * Family member includes your spouse/domestic partner, child or parent.
Not applicable. If you chose to use PTO during weeks 6-26 when you filed for leave, your accrued PTO replaces up to 30% of your basic weekly earnings.
** You can’t borrow PTO during a leave of absence.
In certain states, you may receive state disability or paid sick leave benefits. State benefits may vary and are applied before McKesson benefits.
What happens to my healthcare coverage and other Total Rewards? • Your McKesson medical, dental, vision, long term
disability (LTD), short term disability (STD), life and accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) and healthcare flexible spending account (FSA) benefits continue as long as you pay your portion of required premiums and remain eligible under the plan terms. • If your leave is longer than six months, your healthcare
coverage ends and you may be eligible for healthcare coverage through COBRA or you may purchase coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace.
How do I file for FMLA Leave? Call the HR Support Center at 855.GO.MCKHR (855.466.2547) and press 2 or contact Matrix through the Matrix eServices Mobile App or online at www.matrixabsence.com. You can file for leave the same day you unexpectedly need to be absent from work or up 30 days before your planned absence.
What if I need to extend my leave? If you need to extend a leave after it starts, let Matrix know as soon as possible. You may need to provide similar information as when you filed for leave. If you don’t provide the requested information, your leave extension may be delayed or denied.
Do I accrue PTO during my leave? Yes, but only during the first 30 days your approved leave.
Am I paid for holidays during my leave? No.
What happens to my McKesson Corporate Credit Card during my leave? Your McKesson Corporate Credit Card is deactivated while you’re on leave. Your card is reactivated a week after you return to work. Refer to the FMLA policy at McKNet > Pay & Benefits > Time/PTO > Leaves of Absence for complete leave details.
Be sure you: • File for both FMLA and STD benefits, if you’re disabled,
to receive STD pay and be on protected leave for your medical condition. • Provide Matrix with the information and supporting
documents they request. • Understand that FMLA Leave and STD benefits usually run
together. If STD benefits aren’t approved with your FMLA Leave, your leave is unpaid.
When possible, file your FMLA Leave 30 days in advance so your manager has time to plan coverage during your absence.
