Employees must submit a written request at least 30 days prior to the commencement of leave in cases where the leave is foreseeable and make reasonable efforts in scheduling leaves to avoid disrupting the work unit. Leave may be taken on an intermittent or reduced basis for the birth or placement of a child, however, only if the arrangement is agreed to by the employer. Certification must be updated every 30 days. A Certification of Physician or Practitioner form is available in the Office of Human Resources. Failure to provide medical certification in a timely fashion may result in disapproval of the request for Family and Medical Leave.
Continued eligibility is contingent upon timely receipt of the employee premium contribution.
The University will continue to contribute its portion of the total premium. Arrangements for paying such premiums should be made with the Office of Human Resources prior to the leave beginning. All rights reserved.
