Statement

An employee with at least six (6) months of service can request from Human Resources an unpaid leave for up to six (6) weeks for a qualifying medical situation which would otherwise meet guidelines of FMLA if only had enough time in position.   This leave can only be granted if business demands allow and all vacation and sick/personal time have been exhausted.  Insurance deductions would remain a responsibility of the employee. 

Effective January 1, 2015, P.A. 98-1050 creates additional protections for pregnant employees.  See Human Resources for details.

A leave of absence without pay for a period not to exceed one (1) year may be granted to exempt employees with at least three (3) years of consecutive full‑time employment with Shawnee College for reasons which are deemed acceptable by the College Board.  Such leaves may be granted for travel, professional study, parenting or other personal reasons.

Revised:  July 2016
