UNC-Chapel Hill provides faculty and staff who become parents, either by birth or adoption or foster-care placement of a minor child, with leave to allow for the healthy recovery of the primary caregiver, bonding with the adopted child, and/or a period of family adjustment. This workshop provides an overview of the parental leave process and addresses frequently asked questions regarding maternity and paternity leave such as, “How does FMLA work?”, “When and how do I apply for leave?”, and “How do I get paid while on leave?”
Course objectives:

• Awareness of entitlements with respect to parental leave
• Understanding of the process for taking maternity and paternity leave
• Knowledge of resources available to new parents (i.e. benefits and work/life programs)
