Caregiver Leave of Absence

Caregiver Leave helps balance the needs of work and family by assisting employees with:

• Preparing for or participating in the birth, adoption, or foster placement of their newborn, newly adopted, or foster care child
• Assisting with or arranging for the care of a spouse, domestic partner, parent, step parents, or children with a serious health condition

Employees requesting Caregiver Leave should notify their supervisor and Human Resources at leaves@tufts.edu.
