Leave of Absence
M/I Homes provides various leaves to ensure you are supported when you need time away from work. The leaves include family, medical, military, parental, and personal.
To make requesting a leave as simple as possible for you, we utilize a leave of absence management system, AbsenceSoft. You can use AbsenceSoft when you need work accommodations or an extended leave from work. AbsenceSoft can help you understand and apply for different types of leaves when you need them, such as Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), parental leave, medical leave, intermittent leave, military leave, personal leave, or for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accommodations.
PTO and Disability Pay During Leave
You may be eligible for Short Term Disability pay if you are on leave due to your own medical condition and have missed at least 14 consecutive calendar days. The disability benefits are payable after a 14-day waiting period. If available, you must use 5 days of PTO during the first 5 days of your waiting period and have the option to use an additional 5 days or go unpaid for the second week. If your leave is due to a foster care placement, birth or adoption of your child, Parental Leave will pay 100% during the waiting period and no PTO will need to be used.
For additional information on leaves, please reach out to Human Resources and review the Employee Handbook.
Parental Leave
We provide you with time away from work to bond with your new family member — whether they are newborn or newly adopted. Eligible full-time employees will receive 2 weeks paid leave. This can be used for the birth of a new child(ren), adoption of a child(ren), or foster placement of a child(ren).
Who Is Eligible?
You are eligible the first of the month after 30 days of full-time employment.
What Is Required?
Documentation of the birth and/or placement must be provided, and paperwork must be completed before Parental Leave can be taken.
Requesting a Leave
You can request leave through the AbsenceSoft Employee Self-Service Portal (ESS).
