Under federal Family and Medical Leave (FML), the California
Family Rights Act (CFRA) and CSU policy, employees with at least 12 months
of service are eligible for a leave of up to 12 weeks in a 12-month period
for the following reasons:
- To care for a child after birth or placement with the employee for
adoption or foster care.
- To care for the employee's spouse, domestic partner, child or parent
who has a serious health condition.
- If the employee is unable to perform the essential functions of his or
her job due to a serious health condition.
Family medical leave is without pay; however, employees must exhaust
their personal holiday and any accumulated vacation or compensatory time off
prior to beginning unpaid leave. Sick leave credits may be used if mutually
agreed upon by the employee and supervisor.
- To initiate a Family Medical Leave, complete the Leave of Absence Request Form
(.pdf, 195KB |
.xls, 26KB) and return to
Pat Ritchie or
Vivian Dea in HR
Services (be sure to check the box for Family Leave).
- Leave begins after the employee has requested and is granted FML, or
after CO notifies the employee that it is designating time off as FML.
- During unpaid FML, CSU continues to pay its normal portion of medical,
dental and vision premiums.
- Employees on FML have the right to return to the same or an equivalent position.
