Teaching Relief for Child Rearing (TRC)

Teaching Relief for Child Rearing provides one semester with no teaching responsibilities, for the purpose of providing – at least half-time during normal working hours – substantial and sustained care of a newborn or newly adopted child under the age of 6 years. During the semester of TRC, the faculty member remains responsible for non-instructional duties as are consistent with the purpose of the benefit. Parents who give birth during the semester of TRC may take short-term medical disability (SMD), during which they have no obligations to Yale. SMD for childbirth is normally concurrent with the semester of TRC. Only one semester of TRC may be taken per birth event.  

A semester of TRC can be taken within one year of birth or adoption.  

TRC can be combined with Short-Term Medical Disability for relief of all university responsibilities following birth.
