Employee Leave

The University supports its employees' ability to balance their work and home lives by providing several leave options, with certain restrictions and limits, including paid annual and sick leave, leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act, leave under the District of Columbia Family and Medical Leave Action and leave under the District of Columbia Parental Leave Act, as well as other options for paid and unpaid leave.

This section provides supervisors with guidance on how to administer leave, including approving employee leave requests, consistently applying University leave conventions, and establishing and maintaining accurate leave records. Supervisors are responsible for assisting employees in managing their leave so that employees are able to take time away from work and, at the same time, ensure operational requirements are met. Guidance for developing administrative approaches to this responsibility is available from the Employee and Labor Relations Division.

The University reserves the right to modify or discontinue its leave programs in whole or in part at any time, except as required by law..
