Family Medical Leave
The Office of Labor Relations advises departments, classified staff, officers
and professional exempts, and 9 and 12 month faculty on the administration of
Family Medical Leave. The office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Dean
of the Graduate School advises research faculty on the administration of FML.
FML is a form of job protection that runs concurrently with all applicable
forms of paid and unpaid leave. FML may be takenby eligible employees for
the following medical reasons:
- the birth and care of your newborn child;
- the placement and care of a child from adoption or foster care;
- care for a spouse, child, or parent with a serious health condition; and
- your own serious health condition.
Family Medical Leave for Classified Staff
A classified staff employee is eligible to take up to 13 weeks (520 hours)
of FML leave in a fiscal year, so long as that employee has one year of total state service
as of the date leave will begin. This amount is prorated for part-time employees.
Specific forms must be completed by both the employee and the department for FML leave
to be granted. You may contact the Office of Labor Relations at 303-492-0956 for a FML
packet or download the required forms at

If you are going to be on FML leave without pay for more
than 30 days, please also complete the following PERA required form: Certification

In FMLA cases involving the birth and care of your newborn child, please
also complete this form after the birth of the child so your department
will know how much sick leave you should be granted.
