General Information:
  • Used to place an eligible employee on an authorized unpaid leave of absence under Family Medical Leave (FML) eligibility. Questions concerning eligibility and/or benefits should be directed to the campus Human Resource Officer or the Chancellors Office of Human Resources.

  • Unless reappointed, leave for eligible temporary appointees terminates upon expiration of the temporary appointment.

  • The maximum length of leave varies based upon the type of leave chosen under this transaction code. Refer to respective bargaining agreement or coded memo for detailed information on the Systemwide HR web site.

  • Paid maternity/paternity/adoption leave runs concurrently with FML, which is unpaid if leave credits have been exhausted.  Maternity/paternity/adoption leave is not charged against an employee's leave credits.  As such, employees may require reinstatement from FML to be paid.  Refer to the respective agreement and/or coded memos for additional information on the Systemwide HR web site.

  • Use PLA/FML for paid FML.

  • An employee must be reinstated before being placed on any other type of leave.

A reinstatement is not required unless the separation is a retirement, then the employee must be reinstated before the separation.
