Personal Leaves without Pay

Personal and Non-FMLA leaves may be requested as follows: Employees who have at least one (1) year of service may request an unpaid leave of absence of up to one (1) year in duration with the approval of your supervisor, vice-president/director and the Director of Human Resources or his/her designee. Those with less than one (1) year may request leave equal to their length of service only. Upon return from such leave, at the University’s discretion, an attempt will be made to refer you for open positions for which you may be qualified. However, openings may not always be available. If a placement in a position is made the attendant salary will be governed by the University's requirements and compensation policies.

Seniority does not continue to accrue while using this leave. An adjustment in seniority date will be made upon your return from a leave of absence without pay. The adjustment is made in accordance with the length of time that the employee is on leave without pay.

The University's contribution for benefits is not paid during these types of leaves, although you may be eligible to continue your coverage by paying the full group rate.
