Medical Leave for Your Serious Health Condition
Eligibility
|
All benefit eligible employees who have been employed by the university for a minimum of one year are eligible to apply for a medical leave. The university will provide an employee up 12 weeks of leave in any 12-month calendar period to an employee who has a "serious health condition." Such condition is defined as a disabling physical or mental illness, injury, impairment, or condition involving either in-patient care or out-patient care that requires continuing treatment by a health care provider. The requested leave may be taken all at one time or intermittently. |
Notice of Leave |
30 days is possible, otherwise as soon as you are able to submit the paperwork. |
Intermittent and Part-time Requests |
Per the treatment of a health card provider, leave can be taken intermittently or on a part-time basis. All requests will be reviewed by HR and the department. |

In addition, vacation or floating holiday pay can be used to substitute for 75% short-term disability. Faculty Can use eligible short-term disability, which accrues one day per month.
