IUPUI is Indiana's premier urban research university. The campus enrolls more than 30,000 students in 21 schools and academic units.
Family and Medical Leave
The federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is intended to balance the demands of the workplace with the needs of families by allowing leave for certain qualifying reasons. The law provides up to 12 weeks of job-protected unpaid leave for eligible employees in any 12-month period, which Indiana University defines as the calendar year. The university voluntarily applies the FMLA provisions to same sex domestic partners as qualified by the university’s Affidavit of Domestic Partnership.
Employees have the right to a prompt investigation and response to a question or problem concerning the application of the law and the university’s policy or procedures. If a department does not satisfactorily resolve the employee's concerns, he or she may take the inquiry or problem to Human Resources Administration for immediate attention and response within two weeks.
