Employees may use up to 10 of their available sick leave days per fiscal year for family illness. Unused sick leave carries forward to the next fiscal year. Official retirees of the University who retire with unused sick leave remaining may convert the sick leave to a cash payment upon retirement. During an extended illness, sick leave benefits will be paid based on the employee's normal workweek and may be coordinated with disability benefits. Leaves Without Pay During all approved personal leaves, the employee pays his or her regular portion of group insurance premiums and the University continues its usual contribution.
All personal leaves are without pay.
Personal leave may be used for religious observance, education, newborn infant care, personal business, illness, disability, vacation, and other situations that cannot be addressed through a paid leave. Personal leaves granted for medical reasons run concurrently with leave allowed under the Family and Medical Leave Act. The University uses a formula to determine the maximum amount of personal leave for which an employee is eligible. Please e-mail comments on this site to Personnel Services .
