The FMLA policy allows qualified employees up to 12 weeks of unpaid time off for births or adoptions, to care for spouse, child or parent with a serious health condition or for the employee’s serious health condition. Accrued sick leave and/or vacation could be used as appropriate. The OUCM-T Human Resources Office can assist you with the rules and use of this policy.
