When an employer and/or the department of children, youth, and families has determined that abuse of the foster parent shared leave pool has occurred will the employee be required to repay the shared leave drawn from the pool?
Employers and/or the department of children, youth, and families must investigate any alleged abuse of the foster parent shared leave pool and on a finding of wrongdoing the employee may be required to repay all of the shared leave received from the foster parent shared leave pool. The only time an employee will have to repay leave credits is when there is a finding of wrongdoing.
