Leave Administration

Howard values the time you invest at the university. We invite you to explore your paid time off and unpaid leave options that aim to help you manage medical needs for you and your family. The University provides various types of Leave of Absences in the event you experience a personal or medical need. In all cases, you will need to seek prior approval of the leave by notifying MetLife and submitting a claim.

Leaves of absences for yourself are granted for the following reasons:

• Medical Leave (FMLA)
• ADA Accommodations
• Parental Leave
• Family Care Leave
• Military Leave
• DC Paid Family Leave (PFL)
• Short-Term Disability (MetLife)
• Bereavement, Jury Duty, and Other Leaves
