Clemson approves new FMLA policy

Office of the Human Resources wordmark

Clemson University’s Executive Leadership Team and President Jim Clements recently approved a new policy regarding the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). 

This policy does not change the process to request FMLA. Rather, it formalizes the already operational process for requesting and receiving FMLA benefits, while providing consistency across the University. 

The FMLA entitles eligible employees of covered employers to take unpaid, job-protected leave for specified family and medical reasons with continuation of group health insurance coverage under the same terms and conditions as if the employee had not taken leave. 

The policy lays out the eligibility requirements to take FMLA leave and the parameters under which FMLA leave may be taken. It also gives employees and supervisors guidance on the required procedure to request FMLA leave. 

Employees who may need to take FMLA leave should review the FMLA policy and the FMLA Guidelines and Packet

For initial consultation on FMLA matters, please contact your HR Service Center Manager or Ask-HR.

The Office of Human Resources will soon launch a comprehensive onboarding and training program for department-level HR and Payroll liaisons, addressing a need across the University.

The HR and Payroll Liaison (HRPL) Bootcamp Program includes an onboarding plan and checklist for supervisors and the employee and job-specific training. HRPLs will also have access to an online repository of training, job guides, forms and other resources to help them perform their job duties.

HRPLs are critical to the University’s success and provide vital support to their departments. The program was designed to help employees feel confident in their roles, enhancing their work experience.

We hope this program will increase their comfort and skills to support the employees in their departments effectively,” said Michelle Cato, senior director of talent management.

More resources are also available to HRPLs and supervisors through the Supervisors and HR/Payroll Liaison section of the OHR website.
