Policy Purpose
USC recognizes that its Staff employees may need time away from work due to the birth (including becoming a parent through surrogacy) or the placement of a child through adoption, legal guardianship, or foster care. Staff employees are allowed time off under this policy to care for the Staff employee’s child within one (1) year of the birth, adoption, or placement of child(ren) pursuant to court orders. Staff employees may be entitled to job-protected leave for qualified medical and family reasons. Please see the USC’s Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) /California Family Rights Act (CFRA) Leave Policy, USC California Paid Family Leave (PFL) Plan Document and California Pregnancy Disability (PDL) Policy for further details.
