Description of Job

The Colorado Community College System (CCCS) is seeking a Family and Medical Leave (FML) Coordinator to join our Human Resources team and help coordinate a partially centralized leave management program. This role is an excellent opportunity for an early-career HR professional or an HR generalist who wants to build deep expertise in employee benefits, leave administration, and business process design. You will play a key role in making leave processes clear, compliant, and compassionate for employees across our 13 colleges while contributing to enterprise HR initiatives and professional development pathways.

CCCS provides generous leave, excellent health, dental, vision, life, and other benefits, as well as flexible work schedules, including hybrid-remote work within the state of Colorado.

What you'll do

• Coordinate partially centralized processes for Family and Medical Leave and related specialized leave programs (e.g., PFML, FMLA, FAMLI, STD, LTD).
• Partner with the CCCS Benefits Manager to assess employee eligibility and ensure compliance with federal and state leave regulations.
• Track and reconcile leave in Banner (HRIS), prepare accurate leave adjustments, and support payroll corrections as needed.
• Guide employees, supervisors, and HR teams through leave steps-collecting paperwork, tracking leave usage, and communicating timelines and job-protection status.
• Calculate make-whole assessments and coordinate leave-related payroll adjustments with system and college payroll contacts.
• Assist colleges in processing leave without pay and in communicating leave decisions to employees.
• Serve as a primary CCCS contact with the State FAMLI division and collaborate to improve operational efficiency.
• Support resolution of leave-related discrepancies or disputes, balancing compliance with practical, employee-focused solutions.
• Develop clear, timely communications and resources for HR offices, managers, and employees.

Minimum Qualifications, Substitutions, Conditions of Employment & Appeal Rights

• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or related field. An equivalent amount of HR experience that includes experience working with family and medical leave or leave administration will be accepted in lieu of the educational requirements.
• One year of experience in human resources that includes administering the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) or other federal or state regulated employee leave.
