Maternity Leave:

For pregnancy and childbirth (including pre-delivery, delivery and post-partum), leave of no more than 12 weeks will be granted. The University will continue full salary and allowable fringe benefits during the first six weeks of leave. As there is a presumption of disability during the first six weeks, no physician's statement will be required. During the remainder of the leave, the University will pay no salary, but will contribute the employer's portion of any allowable health and life insurance premiums, so long as the employee continues to pay her premium portion. When required for medical reasons, leave taken beyond the initial six week period will be covered under the University's policy on temporary disability leave with pay for up to six months. In that event, the maternity leave is considered part of the total six month period for temporary disability.
