Is Family Medical Leave paid or unpaid?
During the time that an employee is on leave for a FMLA reason, he/she must exhaust all APPLICABLE sick leave and vacation. Once that is exhausted, the employee will be placed on Leave Without Pay for the remainder of the 12 weeks. The University of Texas at Dallas will be responsible for paying the employee’s premium sharing during that time. Premium sharing is the amount of money that the University and the State contribute to your insurance coverage. However, the employee will be responsible for paying the additional insurance that they normally have deducted from their paychecks (i.e., cost of coverage for dependents, long-term disability insurance, etc.).
