The state of Alaska is planning on appealing a federal court decision that says they cannot count unscheduled weeks for rotational workers against their accumulated leave time.
The U.S. Labor Department alleged in 2017 that the state miscalculated leave for ferry workers on rotational leave starting in 2014. That leave is entitled to the workers under the Family and Medical Leave Act, says the Labor Department. The state replied by disputing the Labor Department's interpretation of the law.
U.S. District Court Judge H. Russel Holland ruled that the law entitles employees who are eligible to 12 work-weeks of leave each year, not 12 calendar-weeks as argued by the state. An agreement reached in July bars the state from counting any week a worker isn't scheduled to work against leave time, pending the upcoming appeal and any further court action.
