Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to share the new Paid Parental Leave benefit for staff employees. Effective August 1, 2021, staff will be eligible for one paid leave of absence following the birth or placement of a child through adoption. The benefit is available for births and adoptions occurring on or after August 1, 2021.  

Please review the linked policy above to learn more about the eligibility criteria and return to work commitment for employees who wish to utilize this benefit. The Paid Parental Leave (Staff) application can be found on the HR Forms website. If you have questions, please contact HR Attendance & Leave at (850) 644-6034 or hr-attendanceleave@fsu.edu.  

In a few weeks, we will host an open Zoom meeting to discuss the new benefit at length. Please be on the lookout for future communications.

We hope that this benefit will assist eligible new parents in balancing their work and family needs.

Sincerely,

Renisha Gibbs
Associate Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer
Finance & Administration Chief of Staff
