(Board Policy 420.1, 420.2; Universitywide Administrative Memorandum 435.2,
435.3; AHRMS Policy Manual 105-5)
Maternity leave is treated as any other leave for sickness or disability,
except that an employee who is unable to work because of pregnancy may elect to
take maternity leave without pay without exhausting her accumulated annual leave
and sick leave. If you take maternity leave, you should discuss with your
supervisor and your department leave representative how you want to use your
leave balances. You should give your supervisor as much notice as possible
before you begin maternity leave, and two weeks notice before returning to work
from maternity leave. Both notices should be in writing. Upon your return from
maternity leave, you will be given the same position or one which is comparable
in pay, benefits, and working conditions to the one you held before you went on
leave. Any time that you use maternity leave, it will be counted as FMLA leave.
