CU FAMLI supplemental leave calculators

These calculators can assist payroll liaisons and Human Resources contacts with estimating FAMLI supplemental leave amounts for employees. CU FAMLI offers a percentage of an employee’s full wages, based on their average weekly wage rate over the past 4 of 5 quarters worked at CU, while they are on FAMLI leave. The employee may supplement their FAMLI benefit with other CU leave types (sick, vacation, paid parental leave, comp time, etc.) to compensate up to the employee’s current full wages.

Important considerations

• These calculators produce estimates of FAMLI wage replacement benefits and FAMLI supplemental leave amounts based on the employee’s current pay rate in job data. The employee’s actual benefit and supplemental leave amount may be more or less than what is shown on the calculator because it is based on average wages over the past 4 of 5 quarters worked at CU.
• These calculators are meant to assist payroll liaisons and Human Resources contacts and employees with planning out an employee’s leave schedule and pay while on leave. The employee will be provided their Leave Plan with actual FAMLI supplemental leave amounts when working with their Employee Services Leave Coordinator at the time that they request leave.
• The maximum amount of weekly FAMLI wage replacement benefits that can be provided to an employee is $1,100.
  • The portion of an employee’s average weekly wage that is equal to or less than 50% of the state average weekly wage will be replaced at a rate of 90%.
  • The portion of an employee’s average weekly wage that is more than 50% of the state average weekly wage will be replaced at a rate of 50%.
