On Dec. 31, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA), requiring employers to provide paid sick leave and expanded family medical leave for personal illness or to care for loved ones who are ill, expired.
However, to continue supporting all UNM employees, UNM senior leadership has voluntarily chosen to continue the emergency paid sick leave provision (E-PSL) of the FFCRA through March 31.
E-PSL allows for two weeks of paid leave (up to 80 hours), prorated based on FTE and average hours worked through March 31. Read the full Human Resources Jan. 14 announcement to verify your eligibility and for instructions on the request process.
