UW‒Madison paid parental leave policy becomes effective in July
UW–Madison’s new paid parental leave becomes effective July 1, 2024. The policy provides eligible employees with up to six weeks (240 hours) of paid parental leave within a 12-month period for the birth or adoption of a child. The policy is available on the Policy Library. Concurrently with the implementation of the new policy, UW–Madison is making updates to the existing Postdoc Absence with Pay & Legal Holidays policy. Individuals who want to request parental leave should contact their Divisional Disability Representative for assistance. Details about the new policy, including FAQs, a Parental Leave Request Form, and language translations are available on the Paid Parental Leave web page at hr.wisc.edu/paid-parental-leave.
