Can staff members use maternity leave?

Note: This help topic is out of date and currently archived.

Staff members may request a leave of absence under childrearing leave or the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Requests will be evaluated and approved in accordance with the law and the master agreement for your bargaining unit.

To indicate this preference on the return to workplace commitment form, enter “leave for personal illness” on the form and then complete the FMLA paperwork.
