The Dean's office completes appropriate Payroll Action Forms to put faculty member on unpaid FMLA leave. At the end of FMLA leave, the Dean's office must submit a PAF to return the faculty member to active status. Faculty with permanent full time and permanent part-time appointments will be presumed to have completed 975 hours in a calendar year. For purposes of this policy, child means a biological, adopted or foster child, a stepchild, a legal ward or a child for whom the employee acts as a parent. In the case of your own serious health condition or that of a family member, you may take leave intermittently or on a reduced work schedule, if medically necessary.
Intermittent leave is limited to a maximum of twelve weeks.
Unless otherwise provided for by law or regulation, when you return from FMLA leave will be reinstated to the same position held prior to the leave, or one that is equivalent in pay, benefits and other terms and conditions of employment. The University will continue to provide health and life insurance during the FMLA leave. You will continue to be responsible for the portion of the premium you are currently paying. Human Resources will advise you of the payment due dates and amounts. If you choose not to return from leave, under certain circumstances, you will be required to repay the total cost of health and life insurance premiums.
