Note: Family and dependent care sick days are not provided in addition to regular sick days. Rather, Harvard permits staff to use their own sick time to care for immediate family and household members who are ill or need to isolate/quarantine. This time is tracked separately in PeopleSoft.
Subject to eligibility and circumstances, other paid time off and pay continuation benefits can include:
- Short-Term Disability
- Workers’ Compensation
- Long-Term Disability (faculty and staff must elect and pay for this benefit)
- MA Paid Family and Medical Leave
Unpaid, job-protected leave is also available under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).
