A leave of absence without pay of up to 3 months per "leave year" may be granted to a pregnant employee prior to the time she and her physician determine she is unable to work.  No extension will be granted.  Pregnancy Leave and Child Care Leave combined cannot exceed 6 months.

Pregnancy Leave is not leave entitlement under the Family and Medical Leave Act.

Benefit plans may be continued during Pregnancy Leave for employees with over 1 year of continuous full-time service.  For eligibility information and to request leave of absence forms, please contact Diane Drake in University Human Resource Services at 285-1036 or lddrake@bsu.edu.
