This page contains summary information. For detailed information on benefits eligibility and plan information refer to the University Corporation Employee Handbook, the Benefits Summary or contact University Corporation Human Resources.   

Worker's Compensation Disability Leave

University Corporation employees are insured for work-related illness or injury that occurs while you are on the job. Employees must report a work-related injury or illness to their immediate supervisor or University Corporation Human Resources within 24 hours of the injury. The University Corporation will grant a workers' compensation disability leave to employees with occupational illnesses or injuries in accordance with state law.

Family and Medical Leave

The Federal Family and Medical Leave Act and the California Family Rights Act provide employees with specific leave benefits. It is the intention of the Corporation that the policy described herein shall satisfy the provisions of both Acts concurrently. Regular employees with one year of employment are entitled to take a Family and Medical Leave. FML leave grants up to 12 weeks of paid or unpaid leave during a 12-month period to care for yourself, a child, spouse, parent, or domestic partner with a serious health condition. Medical certification is required. While on unpaid leave, the employee may request the Corporation to continue providing benefits coverage. The FML Act provides an employee with the right to reinstatement to the same or another position with equivalent benefits, pay and conditions of employment upon the employee's return to work at the end of the FML. Other than for pregnancy disability, FML is concurrent with other types of leaves listed here. Refer to the Department of Labor's website for a fact sheet or a list of frequently asked questions about family and medical leave.
