New Paid Parental Leave Policy Effective July 1, 2024
June 27, 2024
Effective July 1, 2024, the Universities of Wisconsin are implementing a policy providing six weeks (240 hours, prorated for FTE) of paid parental leave within a 12-month period following a qualifying birth or adoptive event. The birth or adoption of a child under 18 must occur on or after July 1, 2024, to be eligible for this benefit. Employees must have completed six months of continuous employment with the UWs at the time of the qualifying event (see appropriate links for full eligibility criteria). This policy will run concurrently with Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and Wisconsin Family and Medical Leave Act leave (WFMLA) in cases where an eligible employee is also eligible for FMLA or WFMLA leave.
