After a period of leave due to their own serious health condition, employees must present medical certification to indicate their ability to return to work. Personal leave is defined by state law as leave for vacations and personal business, for the first day of an employee's illness, or for an illness in the employee's immediate family. Faculty members employed on a nine-month basis may use major medical leave for the first day of absence due to illness. Major medical leave may be used, without prior use of additional personal leave, to cover regularly scheduled visits to a doctor's office or a hospital for the continuing treatment of a chronic disease, as certified in advance by a physician. Unpaid leave of absence is a period of leave during which an employee receives no compensation from the University.
Intermittent leave is an employee's use of leave on an interrupted basis.
Employees contact the Benefits staff, Department of Human Resources Management, about continuation of benefits during the approved leave of absence. Upon return to work, employees contact the Benefits staff, Department of Human Resources Management, about reinstatement of benefits.
