Oklahoma State University is pleased to announce the pilot launch of OSU Paid Parental
Leave effective Jan. 8, 2024.
OSU recognizes the importance of supporting new parents with time off to care for
and bond with their child after birth, adoption, or placement of foster children.
OSU Paid Parental Leave supports employees by allowing the primary caregiver up to
six weeks of paid leave and the secondary caregiver up to three weeks per qualifying
event. This leave will be taken within the 12 weeks immediately following the date
of birth, adoption or foster placement and may begin up to 30 days before the event.
Employees who have worked for OSU for six or more continuous months are eligible to
apply for this benefit.
Please see additional information and FAQs.
