Personal Leave

Administrators may be granted a personal leave of absence without pay for professional development purposes.

Administrators who have been employed with the University for six (6) or more years, are eligible to take a leave of absence for up to one (1) year and must receive formal approval from their supervisors. 

Administrators who take a personal leave of absence for up to one month, will maintain their medical insurance, life insurance, and disability benefits, along with all seniority accruals such as vacation, sick leave, retirement, salary continuation, etc. Should an Administrator’s personal  leave extend beyond one month, they will be eligible for COBRA provided they pay the full cost of the premiums in effect at the time of the leave.  Other benefits such as Long-Term Disability, Life Insurance, Tuition Remission, seniority accruals such as vacation, sick leave, retirement, salary continuation, etc., will be suspended until the employee’s return from their personal leave of absence.

Faculty should refer to the University Statutes for eligible leaves of absence.

Union members should refer to their respective Collective Bargaining Agreements for an unpaid personal leave eligibility.
