Personal Leave

(effective 1/1/07)

(This policy does not apply to sabbatical or other professional leaves). The University recognizes that you may need to be away from work for personal reasons. If personal leave is granted, it will be unpaid, unless you have accrued vacation and/or personal days. Each request will be considered on an individual basis taking into account your needs and the operational needs of your department. The University reserves the right to cancel your leave and require you to return at any time for such reasons as undue burden to your co-workers, the needs of the University, or some other significant concern. During unpaid personal leaves, employee pays both employee and employer portion of the health, dental, life insurance, and LTD premiums. No paid time accrues during an unpaid leave.

Personal leave may be approved for employees with one or more years of service. Leave cannot be approved for longer than six months. All agreements must be in writing from the Office of Human Resources.

Please contact Human Resources to obtain further information about personal leaves.
