Faculty Benefits
Paid Parental Leave
In order to request Faculty Paid Parental Leave, a faculty member must be eligible. Eligibility is defined as being a 9-month faculty member who does not accrue annual leave, has one (1) year of service with the University, and is included in the United Faculty of Florida (UFF) bargaining unit on a benefit eligible line of 0.75 FTE or greater. ¹ú²ú×ÔÅÄS employees and 12-month faculty are not eligible.
Employee Educational Scholarship Program for Faculty Dependent Children (EESP-D) – Tuition Waiver
This program provides a University benefit that will aid in the recruitment and retention of ¹ú²ú×ÔÅÄ faculty. Employees eligible for ¹ú²ú×ÔÅÄ’s EESP who do not use their six (6) credit hours of instruction (graduate or undergraduate) per term may instead participate in the dependent child tuition plan for an IRS qualified dependent child. The dependent/student will be responsible for any and all non-refundable fees as identified in the university catalog and regulations.
