MATERNITY LEAVE POLICY For all full-time salaried employees, maternity leave is treated as any other short-term disability and will be paid according to the terms of the Short-Term Disability Policy. An employee may work for as long as is permitted by her physician and may return to work when medically approved to do so. (The customary amount of time allowed is six (6) weeks for a vaginal delivery and eight (8) weeks for a Cesarean section.) If additional time off is requested, but is not medically required, an employee may then use any accumulated personal time or vacation time with supervisor’s approval. Explanation of above policy Regarding faculty: For deliveries that occur over summer vacation, maternity leave (6 or 8 weeks) begins from the date of delivery. Short Term disability, which is the paid part of the leave, runs concurrently with the maternity leave but begins on 9/1 (the renewal date for contracts.) As indicated in the Summary of Benefits, page 2, “short term disability leave may be extended, at the discretion of the University, for a period not to exceed one semester.” In all cases, Virginia Wesleyan will abide by any and all applicable federal and state laws.
