FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE ACT (FMLA)
Notice of Eligibility and Rights and Responsibilities
If your leave qualifies as FMLA leave, you will have the following responsibilities while on FMLA leave (only checked items apply)
Make arrangements to continue to make your share of the premium payments on your health insurance to maintain health benefits while
you are on leave. You have a minimum 30-days (or indicate longer period, if applicable) grace period in which to make premium
payments. If payment is not made timely, your group health insurance may be cancelled, provided we notify you in writing at least 15 days
before the date that your health coverage will lapse, or, at our option, we may pay your share of the premiums during FMLA leave, and
recover these payments from you upon your return to work.
You will be required to use your available paid sick, annual, and/or other leave* during your FMLA absence. This means that you will
receive your paid leave and the leave will also be considered protected FMLA leave and counted against your FMLA leave entitlement.
* Available Sick Leave
* Available Annual Leave
* Available Other Leave
While on leave, you will be required to furnish us with periodic reports of your status and
intent to return to work (should be appropriate for the particular leave situation)
Periodic report time
If the circumstances of your leave change and you are able to return to work earlier than the date indicated Page 1 of this Form, you will be
required to notify us at least 2 work days prior to the date you intend to report for work.
If your leave qualifies as FMLA leave, you will have the following rights while on FMLA leave:
1. You have a right under the FMLA for up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave in a fixed leave year from September 1 through August 31.
2. You have a right under the FMLA for up to 26 weeks of unpaid leave in a single 12-month period to care for a covered
service member or veteran with a serious injury or illness. This single 12-month period commenced on this date
3. Your health benefits must be maintained during any period of unpaid leave under the same conditions as if you continued to work.
4. You must be reinstated to the same or an equivalent job with the same pay, benefits, and terms and conditions of employment on your
return from FMLA-protected leave. (If your leave extends beyond the end of your FMLA entitlement, you do not have return rights under
FMLA).
5. If you do not return to work following FMLA leave for a reason other than:
1) the continuation, recurrence, or onset of a serious health condition which would entitle you to FMLA leave;
2) the continuation, recurrence, or onset of a covered service member's serious injury or illness which would entitle you to FMLA leave, or
3) other circumstances beyond your control, you may be required to reimburse CUNY for our share of health insurance premiums paid on
your behalf during your FMLA leave.
6. If we have not informed you above that you must use accrued paid leave while taking your unpaid FMLA leave entitlement, you have the
right to have the following sick, annual, and/or other leave* run concurrently with your unpaid leave entitlement, provided you meet any
applicable requirements of the leave policy. Applicable conditions related to the substitution of paid leave are referenced or set forth below.
If you do not meet the requirements for taking paid leave, you remain entitled to take unpaid FMLA leave. (* check applicable)
