Below are some frequently asked questions about rights to leave under federal law. Most of your rights to leave will be found in collective bargaining agreements or in your employer’s Human Resources policies, as well as possibly some state and local laws that provide for paid sick and family leave and/or disability leave. Some provisions for leave for COVID-related quarantines or illness may also be included in agreements between state or local associations and employers. It is important to talk to your local association about any leave questions that may apply specifically to employees in your school or college.

Always check with your local and state associations about additional rights you may have under state laws, collective bargaining agreements or memorandums of understanding with the employer, or policies. If you believe your rights have been violated or you need assistance filing a legal complaint, you should contact an attorney for legal advice.
