Purpose:
To provide college-specific procedures and policy information about the Modified Instructional Duties (MID) process.
...
Qualifying personal circumstances: a.k.a., eligibility requirements; per HOP, a faculty member is eligible if they are full-time (see above) and "a principal caregiver of a healthy pre-school child (or children), or who are required to care for or assist a member or members of their immediate family, who although not ill or disabled, needs the help and attention of the faculty member."
The policy makes specific note that "MID is not intended for situations where sick leave use is appropriate", but recent communication with APS (Academic Personnel Services in the Provost's Office), they clarified that this should be read as MID is not intended to substitute for qualifying FMLA and/or sick leave use. In other words:
If a faculty member is approved for MID for a semester, they would still use and report sick leave when appropriate, and also,
If a faculty member anticipates the need for FMLA and/or sick leave during a long semester, and if this faculty member has a qualifying personal circumstance for MID, it may be appropriate for them to apply for MID as well as FMLA so as to clarify their job responsibilities during the periods they are able to work (not while on FMLA) during that semester. e.g., as when anticipating the birth of a child.
