FMLA Guidelines Training 

Thank you to everyone who attended our EHE FMLA Training. Attached are the PowerPoint presentation and the FMLA Guidelines we created for your reference. The PowerPoint, the training recording, and the FMLA Guidelines will also be added to our EHE website under Tools and Resources for future reference.  Below is a direct link to some helpful resources we mentioned during the training:

OSU’s FMLA Webpage – Here, you will find a variety of resources, including the Parental Care Guidebook, links to the official FMLA policy and Paid Time Off policy, answers to Frequently Asked Questions, and more.

Please reach out to your Department HRC with any questions. You may also reach out to the Leave Administrator department at hr-leaveadministrator@osu.edu.

New Delegation Guidelines

As part of the EHE Delegation process, employees are able to temporarily assign another person the authority to initiate business processes or take actions on their behalf in Workday. This formalized process ensures that your time-sensitive tasks are appropriately delegated and can be managed during your planned time away. You will also find the Delegation Guidelines here. 

New Off-Duty Pay Process

A new form has been created by Human Resources (HR) to help capture the necessary pre-approvals for Off-Duty Pay (ODP) requests. This form is designed to obtain fiscal approval for ODP requests, regardless of the funding source.

You can access the Off-Duty Pay Guidelines here.

We recently recorded a virtual training session where we went through the new Off-Duty Pay form and process step by step. Click here to access the recording of this training session.

Policy Reminder: Whistleblower

All faculty, staff, students and volunteers should report suspected or actual wrongful conduct, as outlined in the Whistleblower Policy 1.40. Ohio State is committed to protecting individuals from interference with making a protected disclosure, from retaliation for having made a protected disclosure or for having refused an illegal order. Faculty, staff, students and volunteers may not retaliate against an individual who has made a protected disclosure, participated in an investigation involving a protected disclosure, or who has refused to obey an illegal order. No faculty, staff, student or volunteer may directly or indirectly use or attempt to use the official authority or influence of their positions or offices to interfere with the right of an individual to make a protected disclosure.
