Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA)

You may be eligible for leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). If you believe your situation would qualify under FMLA, please reach out to your HRA or the Leave Administration Team at [email protected]. You can also refer to the LOA Decision Tree.

FMLA leaves may be initiated in Workday using this Smart Guide for reference. During an FMLA leave of absence, your group health benefits will be maintained. FMLA leave may be paid (using sick time off, vacation, or compensatory time off) or unpaid.

If you are employed by the State Fair Board or the Legislative Branch, please contact your supervisor or HRA for the appropriate paperwork.
