Other State Leaves
Additional leave may be granted depending on your work location if outside 亚色影库. Please call Unum at 866-779-1054.

No. The law itself provides job protection only.

However; employees must claim earnings code 550 on their time sheet when on FML. This will cascade from their sick leave, annual leave and Faculty Time Off, personal holiday, and then leave without pay. Employees use their paid leave while they are out on FML. In this way, FML is paid.
