Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) Entitlements. The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (hereafter “FMLA”) is the common name for the Federal law providing eligible Faculty Members (whether salaried or paid from Other Personnel Services (OPS) funds) an entitlement of up to four hundred and eighty (480) hours of leave without pay for qualified family or medical reasons. Faculty Members on approved FMLA leave may not be employed elsewhere without the prior written approval of the University. Employees who have prior approved outside activity(ies) on file may continue the outside activity(ies). The use of FMLA leave by eligible Faculty Members will neither enhance nor decrease any rights or benefits normally accrued to salaried employees during a leave with pay or any rights or benefits normally accrued during a leave without pay. If any provision of this Agreement is inconsistent with or in contravention of the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, Public Law 103-3, or the Family and Medical Leave Act Regulations, 29 CFR Part 825, or any subsequently enacted legislation, then such provision will be superseded by the laws or regulations referenced above, except to the extent that the Collective Bargaining Agreement or any employee benefit program or plan provides greater family or medical leave rights to an eligible Faculty Member.
