Leaves of Absence

FAMILY, MEDICAL AND PARENTAL LEAVES

Marquette University provides leaves of absence to employees for family and medical purposes. A leave of absence is approved time off from the employee’s job for valid medical, personal, family, military, or other circumstances, in accordance with university guidelines, and as required by state and federal regulations. Proper documentation is required.

Marquette has partnered with Leave Solutions, a Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) services organization to provide personalized, one-on-one leave management services to our employees. Leave Solutions will work with you from start-to-finish to ensure a thorough and smooth leave process. If you have questions about an upcoming or current leave, please contact Chesney Rose, Marquette’s Leave Solutions consultant, at (262) 345-2094 or chesney@leavesolutions.com. Employees are encouraged to work with their supervisor and Leave Solutions if time off from work is needed for reasons other than a vacation request or scheduled doctor/dentist appointment.

MILITARY PAY AND LEAVE

The university provides supplemental pay for annual military service, such as an annual two-week training. For other active service, the university provides the employee’s pay, without any offsets, for the first two weeks of active duty. Additionally, the university provides unpaid leave time in accordance with the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA).

The leave provisions do not apply to those employees who terminate employment to voluntarily enlist in the U.S. military. In order to be eligible for military pay or leave, advance notice and proper documentation to Human Resources are required.
