Sick Leave to Care for Relatives Handbook Statement: New Mexico

Employees may use paid sick leave provided by the Company for absences due to the illness, injury or medical appointment of a covered relative, on the same terms the employees are able to use the sick leave benefits for their own illness or injury. For purposes of this policy, sick leave means time off that is paid by the Company and is due to illness, an injury or receiving care from a health professional. Sick leave does not include leave under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).
