Protected Leave Information
Welcome to the Southwestern Community College District’s (SWCCD) revamped Protected Leave and Employee Resources portal.
At SWCCD, we recognize that our faculty, classified staff, and administrators are the backbone of our educational mission. Our commitment to your well-being extends beyond the classroom and the office; it includes supporting you through the various stages of your life—whether you are welcoming a new family member, caring for a loved one, or focusing on your own health and recovery.
Navigating leave options can feel complex, but you are not alone. This resource page is designed to provide transparency and clarity by integrating your federal and state legal entitlements—such as the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the California Family Rights Act (CFRA), and Pregnancy Disability Leave (PDL)—with the specific benefits secured through your respective Collective Bargaining Agreements (SCEA, CSEA, and SCCDAA).
Our goal is to ensure every employee feels empowered to manage their health and family needs while maintaining job security and peace of mind.
While this webpage serves as a 24/7 guide, our Human Resources team is here for personalized assistance. Whether you need help navigating the Interactive Process for an ADA accommodation or have questions about how your health benefits are maintained during leave, we are just a call or email away.
