• The period of the leave counts as service for purposes of tenure, a Certificate of Continuous
Employment, a Certificate of Continual Administrative Services (“13.3b”), and the five-year limit
on Instructor service, unless the employee submits an irrevocable written election to his/her
Chair/unit head and the HR Director, within 90 days following the birth or placement for
adoption, to have the period of leave serve as a bridge. (Contact HR for the applicable form and
to determine eligibility, in accordance with section 6 of the Policy.)
• The period of the leave runs concurrently with Family and Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”) leave,
to the extent that such leave is available to the employee. The application for paid parental leave,
accordingly, serves simultaneously as an application for FMLA leave.
• For members of the teaching faculty: If the faculty member’s leave expires mid-semester, he/she
may return either to teach or to administrative duties for the balance of the semester, at the
discretion of, and as assigned by, the department chair after consultation with the employee.
(Note: Faculty members are encouraged to discuss scheduling issues with their department chairs
in advance of the anticipated leave.)
I understand that I will be required to submit proof of my child’s birth or proof of the formal placement with
