Family and Medical Leave
The Federal Family and Medical Leave Act and the California Family Rights Act provide employees with specific leave benefits. The Corporation intends that the policy described herein shall satisfy the provisions of both Acts concurrently. Regular employees with one year of employment are entitled to take a Family and Medical Leave. FML leave grants up to 12 weeks of paid or unpaid leave during a 12-month period to care for yourself, a child, spouse, parent, or domestic partner with a severe health condition. Medical certification is required. While on unpaid leave, the employee may request the Corporation to continue providing benefits coverage. The FML Act provides an employee with the right to reinstatement to the same or another position with equivalent benefits, pay, and conditions of employment upon the employee's return to work at the end of the FML. Other than for pregnancy disability, FML is concurrent with different types of leaves listed here. Refer to the Department of Labor's website for a fact sheet or a list of frequently asked family and medical leave questions.
Maternity/Paternity/Adoption Leave
University Corporation employees shall be entitled to up to five (5) consecutive work days with pay for new parents for preparing for the arrival of a new infant and the care of a new infant. Paid maternity/paternity/adoption leave shall commence within sixty (60) days of the arrival of a new child. Such withdrawal shall be in addition to available sick and vacation leaves. Paid maternity/paternity/adoption leave runs concurrently with any other related leaves for which the employee is eligible under state and federal law.
Pregnancy Disability Leave
University Corporation employees who have become disabled due to pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, are eligible to take a Pregnancy Disability Leave (PDL) for up to four (4) months.
Leave Without Pay (LWOP)
An employee with one or more years of continuous service credit who works a regular schedule of 30 hours or more per week may request a personal leave of absence. The University Corporation does not pay your share of the foundation-sponsored insurance program while you are on personal vacation. However, coverage may be continued if you write to the Human Resources department 14 days before the beginning of the leave period to make arrangements for all premium payments.
Funeral Leave
In the event of a death in your immediate family, you may take up to 5 days of paid time off from work to attend the funeral and to make any necessary arrangements.

Sick Time
