An eligible employee may take Qualifying Exigency Leave for the following reason:
Eligible employees are entitled to 12 weeks' worth of leave during a rolling 12-month period. The entitlement of 12 workweeks for the birth or placement of a child expires at the end of the 12-month period beginning on the date of the birth or placement.
Eligible employees are entitled to 26 weeks' worth of leave during a single rolling 12-month period.
Eligible employees are entitled to 12 weeks' worth of leave during a rolling 12-month period.
An eligible employee must notify his or her immediate supervisor and the Office of Human Resources (HR) when he or she has a qualifying event for taking leave. If the need for leave is foreseeable, the eligible employee must provide KSU at least 30 days' prior written notice of the intent to take leave. However, if the need for leave is unforeseeable, the eligible employee must provide KSU written notice as soon as is practicable. Failure to provide adequate notice may lead to delayed leave. Once an eligible employee has notified HR of his or her request to take leave, HR will provide the necessary paperwork for the eligible employee to fill out and return.
Eligible employees must provide HR and their supervisors certification of their requested leaves. For FMLA leave and covered servicemembers leave, an eligible employee must provide healthcare provider certification.
Leave for a qualifying exigency must be supported by a copy of the covered military member's active-duty orders and certification providing the appropriate facts relating to the particular qualifying exigency for which leave is being sought, including contact information if the leave involves meeting with a third party.
If an eligible employee takes leave, he or she must contact KSU on the first and third Tuesday of each month to provide a report on the status of his or her leave. Such reports must include an update on the employee's intent to return to work as well as his or her fitness for duty. If the dates of leave need to be changed, the employee must give KSU notice as soon as is practicable.
Eligible employees must use any accumulated sick or vacation leave to remain in a paid status during their leaves. Any unused sick or vacation leave shall be used before an eligible employee is placed on a non-paid status. Once paid leave ends, the remainder of the leave shall be unpaid.
