A staff member may, while in the service, elect to continue University health plan coverage and is required to pay only the staff member's portion of the insurance premium when in the service for 30 days or less.

Administrative leave is a general leave status, initiated by the supervisor, which is paid.
Supervisors should consult with Employee Relations before placing an individual on leave to determine the appropriate type of leave and to coordinate the appropriate payroll processing information . Departments for which seasonable layoff is a recurring activity should share these policies with staff members during the employment process. Questions about temporary or seasonal layoffs should be directed to Employee Relations. Use of sick time is not an option. For full-time staff who receive health care benefits, as long as accrued vacation, holiday and personal leave time are available, benefits will continue.
