Under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), University employees may be eligible for up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave during a calendar year.

Under the state Hawaiʻi Family Leave Law (HFLL), employees may be eligible for up to 4 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave during the calendar year.

If an employee qualifies for family leave under both HFLL and FMLA, the family leave will run concurrently.  For example, if an employee qualifies for family leave to care for his/her spouse with a serious health condition, the family leave will run concurrently under both HFLL and FMLA for 4 weeks and an additional 8 weeks under FMLA – a maximum of 12 weeks of family leave.

Employees may substitute paid leave (i.e. sick, vacation, compensatory time) for FMLA and/or HFLL unpaid leave, depending on the qualifying reason.

For HFLL, the employee must maintain a minimum of least 15 days of accrued sick leave required under the State’s self-insured Temporary Disability Benefits Plan.
