FMLA
FMLA
The
College of Letter and Science updated the policy related to FMLA. This document
contains the memo from the College dated October 23, 2014.
L&S Policy on FMLA
Use
of sick leave following the birth or adoption of a child.
Faculty
eligible under one or more of these policies may use accrued sick leave to
cover leave time. When faculty members are absent from campus and not engaged
in teaching, research or service, they use one sick day per day of leave; five
sick days for a full week. When faculty are excused from only some duties,
leave should be calculated based on faculty assignments of 40% for teaching
(for 2 courses per semester), 40% for research, and 20% for service. Thus, when
faculty members are absent from teaching only, and continue to engage in
research and service, faculty with the typical 2 course-per-semester load
should use sick leave equivalent to 40% of the period missed.
