Student Parents:
ASU Family Resources has information about agencies in the community that provide Emergency Child Care services. In addition, it is always a good idea to plan for back up care should your primary child care arrangements fall through (example: illness and/or calendar conflicts).
Faculty and Staff:
Sick leave may be used only when an employee is absent due to illness or communicable disease within the employee's immediate family, established household, or in situations that place primary responsibility for care on the employee.
Immediate Family is defined as: parent, parent-in-law, brother, sister, spouse, child, grandparent, and any other person who is a member of the employee's established household. If sick leave is not an option, ASU Family Resources has information about agencies in the community that provide Emergency Child Care services. In addition, it is always a good idea to plan for back up care should your primary child care arrangements fall through (example: illness and/or calendar conflicts).
