How are my pay, insurance and other benefits affected by approved leave of absence?

Note: This help topic is out of date and currently archived.

Staff who are approved for a temporary leave of absence (LOA) under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) can use available leave (e.g. sick, personal or annual) to stay in a paid status and cover their retirement and benefit contributions.

Staff who are approved for an extended LOA, such as child rearing leave, are not allowed to use available leave. Under an extended LOA, staff would be required to pay 100% of their benefits and would stop earning service credit for retirement.
