The
Family & Medical Leave Act
(FMLA) provides that eligible employees may
be granted up to twelve work weeks of job-protected
leave during a twelve-month period for certain
health-related situations.
When a University of Georgia employee uses sick, annual, or shared leave, or leave without pay during an FMLA-qualified event, all periods of paid and unpaid leave will run concurrently with any FMLA leave to which the employee is entitled.
New FMLA provisions effective January 28, 2008! Read more.

Notice of intent to return to work: If an FMLA-covered employee gives notice of intent not to return to work, the University's obligation under FMLA ceases for that employee. The University is no longer obligated to provide health benefits for the employee and is not required to restore the employee to an equivalent job.
