Collaboration

At some point, many of us will experience a life event that requires extended time away from work or an accommodation. Path HR is here to help you access the support you need and bring visibility to the amazing benefits CU Anschutz offers.

While optional, we are happy to meet with you to discuss the various leave benefits and how they interact, the application process and what to expect when out on leave, ADA, and to answer your questions. We understand that these situations can be personal and sensitive, and we are committed to handling conversations with care and confidentiality to the extent possible.

Below is a brief overview of each policy and instructions on how to apply. 

FAMLI

Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) is a Colorado law that provides eligible employees with up to 12 weeks of partially paid leave to care for themselves or a family member, with an additional four weeks of leave given for complications during pregnancy or childbirth. Employees are eligible for paid leave through FAMLI on day one of employment and job protection after 180 days of employment.  FAMLI runs concurrently with FML and Parental Leave (if applicable) and employees can choose to supplement their partial wage replacement with a combination of sick and vacation to make their pay whole. Time can be taken intermittently or consecutively. 

FML

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is a federal law that provides up to 12 weeks (480 hours) of unpaid, job-protected leave to eligible employees for qualifying life events. Employees are required to use sick and vacation time to cover their leave through exhaustion. Time can be taken intermittently or consecutively. 

Parental Leave 

CU Anschutz provides up to 26 weeks of leave to eligible employees to be used within 12 months of the birth, adoption, or foster care placement of a new child, with the first six weeks of leave being paid with CU Paid Parental Leave (PPL) and FAMLI and paid with sick and vacation afterwards through exhaustion. Time can be taken consecutively, intermittently, or on a reduced schedule.

Accommodations are provided on an individualized, case-by-case basis and considered in collaboration with the requesting employee, the central HR ADA Coordinator, and the supervisor. Employees and applicants are not required to disclose the medical need for an accommodation to their immediate supervisor or hiring manager, and medical information is kept separate from the personnel file.
