Leaves and Accommodations

For Officers of Administration and Support Staff, A&S HR will serve as the liaison between the department, the employee, and the Leave Management office. The Leave Management office must review and approve medical leaves, reasonable accommodations, maternity leaves, paid family leaves (PFL), and all other leave management requests (except personal Leaves).

Important Considerations:

  • If an employee is absent more than 5 continuous business days without prior notice, the department should inform A&S HR to request the appropriate documentation to record the leave.
  • If an employee wants to go on leave, they should first contact A&S HR to discuss leave options and initiate the leave request with the leave management office. Once the requests is filed with the leave management office, a representative from leave management will be directly in touch with the employee to collect necessary information and paperwork.
  • Throughout an employee's leave, A&S HR will communicate any necessary or pertinent updates with departments.
  • Employees on a medical leave of absence must provide medical clearance from their provider before returning to work.
