Generally, leaves of absence without pay may be granted for illness, childcare, education, or other employment where the experience gained would directly benefit the university. Other reasons may also be considered. Leaves without pay generally affect employee benefits on a prorated basis. Employees who are off the payroll in excess of three months will be required to make full premium payments on health and income continuation insurance's after the initial three months of leave without pay. Leaves of absences longer than ten consecutive work days require approval from the Human Resources Office.
Shorter leaves require supervisory approval.
Employees not in pay status during recess periods in the school year are considered to be on a leave of absence. Application forms are available in the Human Resources Office.
