The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides eligible employees with up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave during a rolling 12-month period. FMLA is designed to help employees balance work and family responsibilities by allowing them to take unpaid leave for qualifying events such as:

• Your own serious health condition (as defined by the FMLA).
• To care for an immediate family member (e.g., spouse, child, or parent) with a serious health condition.
• The birth and care of a newborn child of an employee (including adoption).
• A qualifying exigency, or to care for a covered service member, tied to a family member's active military duty.

To be eligible, an employee generally must have worked for the University for at least one year and 1,250 hours in the previous 12 months.

If you have questions about FMLA, you may contact the Absence Management Team at 801-581-7447 or AbsenceManagement@utah.edu.

Under special circumstances, the University may permit a Benefit-eligible Employee to take a special leave without pay under Rule 5-201A. These special circumstances may include, but are not limited to, personal rehabilitation, the serious health condition of a parent-in-law, or continued education.

A request for special leave without pay must be submitted, in writing, to the employee's supervisor. The written request should state: the reason why the special leave without pay is being requested; the proposed date on which the requested special leave is to commence; the Employee's intent to return to work upon conclusion of the leave; and the estimated date on which the Employee reasonably expects to return to work.
