The University of Arizona Paid Parental Leave Policy requires employees to agree to return to work for at least 30 days after their approved leave for the birth or adoption of a child. An employee who fails to return must reimburse the University for the salary and benefits received during the period of Parental Leave.
An employee who does not return to work will be considered in an overpayment status for the time paid as Parental Leave. Please refer to the University policy on overpayments.
In order to recover the monies owed to the University, contact Payroll Operations immediately at FNSV-Payroll-Info@arizona.edu with the following information:
- Employee’s Name
- Employee’s ID
- The time frame when he or she was paid parental leave and a brief explanation that the employee did not meet the 30-day requirement and needs to repay the monies paid out as Parental Leave
- Whether or not you have spoken to the employee
- Attach a copy of the employee’s signed Request for Parental Leave Form
