benefits), medical benefits, and benefits for any permanent
partial impairment or permanent total disability caused
by a work-related injury or illness. Details on University
policies and regulations relating to worker’s
compensation are included in University

who has exhausted FMLA and/or unpaid leave options
may be terminated.
