303C Family Medical Leave 

Eligible employees receive Family Medical Leave in accordance with the University’s Family Medical Leave Act Policy (“FMLA”) which can be accessed at the following link: Family and Medical Leave (FMLA) | Policies  

Under the FMLA policy, eligible employees are entitled to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave for certain family and medical reasons during a rolling period 12-month period dating back from the time the employees use any FMLA leave.  

Employees must use accrued paid time while on unpaid FMLA leave. The substitution of paid time for unpaid FMLA leave time does not extend the length of FMLA leaves and the paid time will run concurrently with an employee’s FMLA entitlement.  

Upon written request, the University will allow employees to use accrued Short-Term Sick Leave, Vacation Leave, Personal Days, and any other accrued paid time to supplement any Workers’ Compensation or other monetary benefits an employee is receiving. Receipt of monetary benefits does not extend the maximum amount of leave time to which an employee is eligible under the FMLA. In no event shall an employee be entitled to receive more than 100% of their base compensation pay at any time, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.  

FMLA will run concurrently with any other applicable state and federal leave laws or University leave policy when leave is for a qualified reason under those laws or policies, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
