(FMLA)</h2> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>The Federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) entitles eligible employees to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave in a 12-month period for your own serious illness which causes you to be unable to perform the functions of your position.</p> <p>You are eligible for FMLA leave if you have been employed either part-time or full-time with the University for at least 12 months, which do not need to be consecutive or continuous, and have worked at least 1250 hours in the 12 months prior to your absence. Your supervisor or Human Resources Representative will send you an FMLA Medical Certification Form – you complete part of that form and your treating physician will complete the remainder of the form.  </p> <p>Absences may be of an ongoing nature or, when medically necessary, may be taken as an intermittent leave or on a reduced leave schedule. Whenever possible, you should make a reasonable effort to schedule any medical treatment visits so as not to unduly disrupt operations. </p> <p>Because University policies typically exceed the FMLA 12-week provision, you should refer to the applicable University policy or union agreement to answer any questions about your absence (length, pay, etc.). FMLA time and absences provided by University policies run concurrently.</p> <p>FMLA requires that all covered absences are recorded as FMLA. Because the overarching philosophy of the FMLA regulations is that you cannot be disadvantaged due to an absence for an FMLA-qualifying event, these absences must be recorded correctly so that errors are avoided when making decisions about promotions, merit pay, tenure, etc.</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://policies.psu.edu/policies/hrg11" title="HRG11: Family Medical Leave">HRG11: Family Medical Leave</a></li> </ul> <h2>Applicable Paid Time Off   </h2> <h3>Staff</h3> <p>When you are absent due to your own illness or injury, you first use your accumulated sick time. After you have used your accumulated sick time, you have the option to use, part or all of your accumulated vacation, personal holiday, service days, or compensatory time off, as applicable. Paid time off runs concurrently with any FMLA time you may be eligible for. If you run out of paid time off, you may qualify for the vacation donation program. For more information on this program, please contact our office. </p> <h3>Technical Service</h3> <p>Policies affecting employees represented by a union are found in the appropriate Agreements.</p> <h3>Faculty </h3> <p>With the exception of the Applied Research Lab and the University Libraries, if you are in a full-time academic appointment the amount of paid time off is determined by your college.</p> <h3>Leave of Absence for Faculty and Staff</h3> <p>When you need a leave of absence, paid or unpaid, please contact our office. The amount of unpaid leave you qualify for depends on your length of University service.   </p> <ul> <li><a href="http://policy.psu.edu/policies/hr16" target="_blank">HR16: Leave of Absence without Salary</a></li> <li><a href="https://policies.psu.edu/policies/hrg11" title="HRG11: Family Medical Leave">HRG 11 Family Medical Leave</a></li> </ul> <h2>Continuation of Health Care Coverage</h2> <p>During a leave of absence for your own illness or injury, all health care insurance in which you are enrolled will continue at the normal employee contribution rates. If you elect not to continue membership in your benefits while on leave without pay, contact the HR Services at 814-865-1473 to discuss if you will be required to meet any qualification requirements imposed by the plan (e.g., waiting period).</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://guru.psu.edu/forms/4-37OptiontoContinueBenefitsDuringPeriodsofNonEmploymentforFacultyandStaff.html" target="_blank">Option to Continue Benefits Form During Periods of Non-Employment For Faculty and Staff</a></li> </ul> <h2>Contributions to Retirement Plans</h2> <p>As long as you stay in full-pay status, your retirement contributions will continue. If you go on a leave of absence without salary, you will not be eligible to contribute or receive service credit in any retirement plan unless:</p> <ul> <li>You are a member of, and make private arrangements to contribute to, TIAA,</li> </ul> <p><strong>OR</strong></p> <ul> <li>You qualify for, and have purchased,<a href="/benefits/insurance/long-term-disability/" title="Index"> long-term disability</a> insurance with the annuity premium benefit.</li> </ul> <h2>Short-Term Disability (STD)</h2> <p>If you are enrolled in <a href="https://hr.psu.edu/current-employee/benefits/disability/short-term" title="Short-Term Disability">short-term </a><u>disability and</u> your illness, injury, or birth of a child results in a leave of absence, you should contact Unum at 866-860-2066 to initiate your claim as soon as possible.

If you use all of your paid time off, you will be granted a leave of absence without pay. Any workers’ compensation insurance checks you receive while receiving full salary need to be endorsed and returned to the University. You will retain any workers’ compensation insurance checks while on a leave without pay.   <br>  <br> For more information, see the <a href="/workers-compensation/" title="Workers Compensation">Workers’ Compensation Information</a></p> <h2>Employee Assistance Program (EAP)</h2> <p>The <a href="/health-matters/employee-assistance-program/" title="Employee Assistance Program">EAP</a> is available to provide free and confidential counseling on a wide-variety of topics to help you adjust to life changes.</p> <h2>Vacation Donation Program</h2> <p>The vacation donation program allows employees to donate vacation time to each other in the event that one of their colleagues experiences a catastrophic event and exhausts all of their applicable paid time off.
