Leave of Absence Process Update
As a part of Human Resources process improvement initiatives, HR and Payroll have made an update to the Leaves of Absence process. Effective 10/01/2022, HR will be placing salaried employees that have exhausted their sick/vacation banks into an unpaid status in the HR/Payroll system. Employees moved to this status can return to paid status, when they return from their approved leave with the appropriate return to work documentation submitted. If an employee doesn’t return within 3 days of the end of their approved leave, the university will begin the separation of service process per the University’s policy. All CBA rules will be followed.
