Article XXII - Leaves of Absence

Key points are:

Sick leave accrual maximums have increased to 160 days for the 08-09 academic year, 170 days for the 09-10 academic year and 180 days for 10-11 academic year.
Notification of absences for sickness or disability shall be made to the Dean/designee. Faculty failure to provide a Request for Leave form within 7 calendar days of the absence will result in the days being unpaid.
Use of sick time is as follows: entire day = 8 hours, any part of a day = 4 hours.
Request for personal leave must be accomplished through a Request for Leave form. It must be submitted to the Dean at least 3 working days prior to the day of absence is requested, except in the case of an emergency.
Personal leave (16 hours each year with no accrual) may be taken in hourly increments.
Faculty may apply to their Dean for short-term leave for the purpose of attending meetings, workshops, conferences, residencies, short courses and other appropriate activities related to the faculty member’s work.
