PROCEDURE
Tennessee State University provides time off to regular, female
employees due to the birth of children, in accordance with T.C.A.
501501 through 503. Leave for maternity purposes shall
be granted for a period up to four (4) months upon request of
the female employee.
Sick leave shall be used for the period of medical disability
only and all provisions of the sick leave shall apply to this
period of absence. After the employee's physician determines she
is no longer disabled, the employee may use any or all accrued
annual leave or leave without pay for the remainder of the maternity
leave.
Employees returning from disability leave for child birth are
subject to reinstatement as outlined in T.C.A. 501502.
This policy may be amended in compliance with the proposed Family
