Policy Provisions
1. Absence from Work

Cumberland University recognizes that faculty and staff members may need to be away from work due to medical or family reasons, service obligations, or other reasons. Some types of absences are affected by federal law (such as the Family & Medical Leave Act - FMLA), some by state law (such as the Tennessee Maternity Leave Act), and some by Cumberland University policy (such as Vacation & Sick Leaves).

Leaves may be paid or unpaid, depending on what type is requested, the length of the individual's employment, and other factors.
