If you work in Louisiana and need time off for genetic testing or cancer screening, state law requires employers to provide workers with one day of unpaid time off when medically necessary.

This time will run concurrently with any applicable Chevron leave policy and qualifying benefits. You must continue to follow the Chevron disability management process, if applicable, and local absence management protocols, starting with notifying your supervisor for all absences. You must provide at least fifteen days’ notice prior to a request for this leave and also make a reasonable effort to schedule the leave so as to not cause undue disruption to business operations for it to be considered an excused absence.

While the state does not require this time to be paid, employees may use their vacation time or a qualifying benefit for wage replacement for this absence. For example, if eligible, and the purpose is also a qualifying reason for use of the Short-Term Disability Benefit under the STD Plan, this benefit could apply. If your absence does not qualify for wage replacement or if you do not have any available vacation time, then personal leave without pay may also be used.

If you're a New York employee, the state requires that you have disability insurance coverage under its Disability Benefits Law (DBL). You're covered under a company-sponsored private disability insurance plan coordinated by Chevron's absence management partner, but insured through The Standard. 

Benefits from the private plan and the state program combine with Short-Term Disability Plan benefits so that disability income from all sources doesn't exceed your full regular-pay benefits. The chart below shows the features of the private plan and the state program. You can find more information on New York’s website.
