HR-7-1 Medical Leave Assistance Program (MLAP)
The Medical Leave Assistance Program (MLAP) is a voluntary leave program
only available to benefited employees. MLAP provides income assistance to
eligible employees with an approved medical leave of absence, who have
exhausted sick time and vacation pay accruals. Participating employees must
also be eligible for protected leave under federal and state leave laws.
Human Resources will maintain the MLAP voluntary leave program, in alignment
with federal and state leave laws. HR will verify employee eligibility prior to
participation in the program and disbursement of funds. The benefited employee
is responsible to pay a monthly premium should the MLAP request be approved.
Income assistance for eligible members shall consist of wages (subject to a cap)
and employer paid benefits at the same levels prior to their absence for up to a
maximum of sixty (60) contracted workdays. In order to apply, employees can
contact Human Resources or visit the employee intranet, Human Resources/HR
Forms/Leave Forms to access the MLAP Benefit Application Form and
associated instructions.
