It is the policy of Purdue University to provide Paid Parental Leave to benefits-eligible employees, including graduate student employees, due to the birth of an employee’s child or the placement within an employee’s home of an adopted child. The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and Paid Parental Leave (PPL) may run concurrently or the PPL may be used independently of FMLA, depending on the timing of the individual's circumstances. the eligible employee will work with Human Resources to determine the appropriate use of leave time available.

  • Paid parental leave (PPL) provides parents additional flexibility and time to bond with their new child, adjust to new family situations and balance professional obligations.
  • Eligible employees receive up to 240 hours (6 weeks) if employed by the University for at least one continuous year, half-time or more, in a benefits-eligible position. If both parents are employed by the University, each parent may receive up to 240 hours of paid parental leave.
