FMLA/Parental Leave

Overview

Texas A&M University employees (faculty, budgeted, student, wage) on maternity or paternity leave are, if eligible, entitled to job protection under the provisions of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). FMLA is unpaid and requires two entries in Workday.  Employees who have not worked for the state of Texas for at least 12 months or who have worked fewer than 1,250 hours during the 12-month period preceding the needed leave qualify for maternal/paternal leave under the state's Parental Leave Act (PLA).
