FMLA & leave

FMLA eligibility, notice rules, concurrent paid leave, and how leave interacts with the contract.

• How does FMLA work with the UPS Teamster contract? — FMLA gives 12 weeks of job-protected unpaid leave a year; the contract layers on continued health coverage and seniority protection.
• Who do I notify for FMLA at UPS and how quickly? — Notify UPS as soon as practical — 30 days in advance for foreseeable leave, or as soon as possible for emergencies — through the UPS leave administrator.
• Can I use sick days or paid time off during FMLA at UPS? — Yes. You can — and often must — run accrued sick, optional, and vacation days concurrently with unpaid FMLA leave.
