How can a faculty member who has had an official family or medical leave expect to be evaluated by Chair and Dean during annual review?
An “official family or medical leave” is subject to all the requirements of the federal Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA). The provisions for applying for these leaves are described in the Faculty Handbook VII.B.5. (Family and Medical Leaves). Presuming the Loyola Benefits Manager has approved such a leave, how should a faculty be prepared to be evaluated during the Annual Review after the year in which the leave is taken? And how should Chair and Dean evaluate such faculty? It might help to have read provisions of the FMLA to grip the issues at stake. Consider these two sections of the Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division code 29, Part 825.
