Leave Policies and Guidelines by Employee Type
When an employee is off work for medical reasons the employee is to officially request leave through WSU Human Resource Services (HRS). An employee requesting Medical or Parental Leave is to notify HRS within 30 days of the event or as soon as possible if 30 days notice cannot be given.
The Medical Leave forms an employee and the attending Health Care Provider are to complete in order to request medical leave are located on the main Leave Policies and Programs page.

The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA) prohibits employers and other entities covered by GINA Title II from requesting or requiring genetic information of an individual or family member of the individual. To comply with this law, we are asking that employees and departments do not communicate any genetic information or medical information at the department level. “Genetic information” as defined by GINA includes an individual’s family medical history, the results of an individual’s or family member’s genetic tests, the fact that an individual or an individual’s family member sought or received genetic services, and genetic information of a fetus carried by an individual or an individual’s family member or an embryo lawfully held by an individual or family member receiving assistive reproductive services.
