What maternity/adoption benefits are there?
The University provides eligible employees with leave at full pay for their own serious health condition; for the birth, adoption or foster care placement of a child; or for the care of a spouse, parent, or child with a serious health condition. All such leaves are consistent with the provisions of the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA). An FMLA leave may be granted for a maximum period of 12 weeks within any twelve-month period. • Learn More: http://hr.nd.edu/policy/manual/Benefits/fmla.shtml A faculty member whose due date is at any time during a semester is relieved of all teaching responsibilities during that semester. • Learn More: http://provost.nd.edu/faculty-handbook/documents/facultyhandbook06.pdf Untenured members of the teaching and research faculty may elect to extend their probationary period by one year in connection with the arrival of the faculty member’s newborn or adopted child. • Learn More: http://provost.nd.edu/faculty-handbook/documents/facultyhandbook06.
