Answer: (A)

To use accrued family/medical leave, an employee must meet specific eligibility related to how long they’ve worked and how many hours they’ve accumulated, plus a condition about disability benefits. The required criteria are at least 12 months of service with the county and at least 1,250 hours worked in the 12 months immediately before the leave request. In addition, the employee must not be receiving Short Term Disability compensation at the time of requesting leave. These elements together determine eligibility under this policy. The other options don’t fit because they alter these key requirements: one option reduces the service time or hours, another ties eligibility to being on disability, and another changes the employment status or duration in a way that isn’t consistent with the policy.
