For current information contact Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 or www.ssa.gov LEAVES OF ABSENCE: Medical Leave of Absence (FMLA guidelines are followed) Faculty and staff who miss work due to illness for more than five (5) consecutive days are required under HEPC Policy 38 (even if using sick leave) to submit written medical from the treating physician to Human Resources/Benefits. The medical document must include: individual’s medical condition, diagnosis, prognosis, functional limitations, including duration and treatment plan, if any. The IRS FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act) requires that the employer track the employee’s time off during the leave of absence. Eligible employees are allowed 12 weeks in a twelve month period of job protected leave for serious illness for their own serious illness or for certain eligible family members. Health insurance and other optional plan coverage shall continue while an employee is on an approved medical leave of absence provided a doctor’s statement is provided sufficient medical is submitted to Human Resources/Benefits. The faculty member is required to pay his portion of the health premium, and FS will continue to pay the employer portion. Faculty members will pay the full premiums for optional plans (life insurance, disability, etc) on the same basis as an active employee by remitting payment to the Benefits Office. The Faculty Sick Leave Policy #38 states that less than 12 month Faculty will be removed from payroll after 14 consecutive days of illness. Faculty enrolled in short term disability should contact the Benefits Office for claim applications immediately. Military Leave under FMLA is allowed for a 12 week “qualifying exigency” leave due to a spouse, son, daughter, or parent on active duty or called to active duty status in the National Guard or Reserves. Covered leave must address certain qualifying exigencies such as arranging for childcare, legal or financial arrangements, etc. 52
