POLICY STATEMENT

DEFINITIONS
PROCEDURES
  1. A staff employee on approved FMLA, who has exhausted all FMLA and is unable to return to work, must request TML by completing the TML Form which includes a healthcare provider certification.
  2. An eligible staff employee must use all applicable accrued paid leave balances (including sick, vacation, and personal leave) while taking TML. 
  3. Any staff employee who is granted TML shall be notified by Human Resources in writing as to the beginning and ending date of such leave. 
  4. Staff requests for an extension of TML without pay beyond the original three months, pending your long-term disability (LTD) determination, requires the employee and their healthcare provider to complete an American’s with Disability (ADA) Form. This form must be submitted to Human Resources in order to begin the interactive process, which determines whether the request is approved or an undue hardship to the department. Such extensions will be for no more than three months at a time. Upon expiration of the extended leave, the employee shall be returned to the original position or a comparable position within the same pay grade, salary, plus any general increases awarded during that period.
