Family and Medical Leave policy is intended to protect the service of employees who must be out of work due to their own or a family member’s Family and Medical Leave Act qualifying illness, injury or physical or mental disability, childbirth, new baby care, foster placement or adoption. This policy provides the guidelines for requesting and the terms of a Family and Medical Leave of Absence.
Leaves of Absence Without Pay are intended to protect the service of employees who develop a need to temporarily leave active service, but plan to return to the University within a specified amount of time, and do so in accordance with the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). The University recognizes the importance of job flexibility within the workplace to assist employees with balancing the demands of work, family, and personal needs. The University wants to help employees meet those competing responsibilities in a manner that accommodates the legitimate interests of the University as well as the concerns of the employee.
