It can be used for medical, dental or optical examinations. The University requires all examinations to be signed by a health care professional. Medical Leave can be used after your initial probation period has passed and all your accumulated sick leave has run out.

You are entitled to up to six months of medical leave in a rolling year. Medical leave is unpaid. Family and Medical Leave is used for the care of the employee's spouse, child or parent with a serious health condition. The use of sick leave is required, when appropriate.
