Virginia Sickness and Disability Program

The Virginia Sickness and Disability Program (VSDP) provides you with income continuation if you become unable to perform your normal job duties because of an illness or injury. Eligible employees receive sick leave, family and personal leave, and short and long-term disability benefits. The program provides up to ten days of sick leave and up to five days of family and personal leave per year, based on the employee's length of service (with no carry-over from year to year) and up to 125 workdays of short-term disability coverage. The number of days of income continuation depends on the employee's length of state service at the time of disability.

Family and Medical Leave Act

Eligible employees are provided with up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave due to the birth of a child, or for adoption or foster care of a child, or to provide care for a family member (child, spouse, or parent) with a serious health condition, or because the employee's own serious health condition makes him or her unable to do his or her job. Employees are able to use their paid-time-off to receive pay during these periods.

Parental Leave

Eligible employees may receive up to eight (8) weeks (320 hours) of paid parental leave to be used within six (6) months of the birth of an infant(s) or adoptive, foster, or custodial placement for a child(ren) under the age of eighteen (18). Employees may request continuous or intermittent parental leave. Parental leave is designated as FMLA leave and runs concurrent with the FMLA leave period.
