FMLA Family and Medical Leave Act

FMLA does not provide pay.

It is the intent of Donnelly College to comply with all applicable provisions of the Family and Medical Leave Act. FMLA, unpaid leave, is designed to protect the employee’s position and benefits while the employee is on FMLA qualified leave.

Under FMLA regulations, eligible employees with a minimum of twelve (12) months of service, or 1250 minimum worked hours in months worked within the Archdiocese of Kansas City, KS locations with less than a 7-year break, are entitled to take up to twelve (12) weeks of leave in a 12-month year beginning with the first week of leave. The leave is unpaid but can be taken in unison with paid short-term disability leave. PTO must be taken during FMLA leave. Details can be obtained by contacting the Human Resources Office. 

FMLA qualified leave reasons:
* The birth of a child (within one year of the birth).
* The placement of an adopted or foster care child within one year of placement
* Disability leaves due to physical health as determined by a medical doctor
* To care for the employee’s spouse, son, daughter, or parent who has a serious health condition
* Any qualifying exigency arising from the employee’s spouse, son, daughter, or parent being a military member on covered active duty.
* An eligible employee may also take up to 26 workweeks of FMLA leave in a single 12-month period to care for a covered United States servicemember with a severe injury or illness if the employee is the spouse, son, daughter, parent, or next of kin of the servicemember (military caregiver leave).
