The Employee Services Leave Team manages FMLA, FAMLI and Parental Leave for all CU employees. The leave team serves as a resource for employees who may require a leave of absence. There are many complex leave policies for employees to navigate, and the leave team aims to support them through that process.

To ensure a smooth leave of absence request process, employees should note the following:

  • It is okay to apply for leave with estimated leave start and end dates. Many employees do not know their leave dates or schedule until they have met with their medical provider. The leave team will confirm the actual dates later in the process.
  • You will have a team of people behind you to support you through this process including your leave case manager, your supervisor, and your department HR contact. Keeping this team informed throughout the leave process is critical for success.

  1. Login to your employee portal.
