Except for the leave types below, no leave at UAB is paid. All time away is paid from the employee's accrued benefit time.
Employees must use all sick time, vacation and personal holidays prior to placement in an unpaid status.
- Use of accrued benefit time does not extend the length of time away from the job beyond the leave specific entitlement.
- Under certain circumstances, employees may utilize donated sick time while on a Family and Medical Leave of Absence.
Living Donor Paid Leave:
UAB/UAB Medicine eligible employees may receive up to four weeks paid time off as a living organ donor or one week paid time off as a bone marrow donor. Regular part-time and Alternative Work Schedule employees will receive prorated paid time off days based on the percentage of normally scheduled work hours within a 40 hour week.
Paid Parental Leave:
A period of paid leave of absence (that does not reduce an Eligible Employee’s balance of any accrued benefit time such as sick, vacation, PTO/ETO, or personal holidays) for the purpose of recovery from the birth of a child and/or to bond with a newborn or with a newly-adopted child who is under the age of 18. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Paid Parental Leave runs concurrently with an Eligible Employee’s FMLA leave. UAB/UAB Medicine will provide up to four work weeks (20 days/160 hours maximum) Paid Parental Leave to an Eligible Employee during the first six months following birth or adoption. Paid Parental Leave may be taken continuously or intermittently within the first six months following birth or adoption.
