Information about Personal and Professional Leaves Without Pay

Personal and professional leaves without pay are governed by Article 22 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

A faculty member is eligible to submit a written application for a leave of absence without pay in accordance with

this article.

Personal leaves of absence without pay may be granted by the President. A personal leave of absence

without pay may be for purposes of unpaid sick leave, outside employment, maternity/paternity, family care leave,

or other purposes of a personal nature. No service credit shall accrue toward probation, sabbatical eligibility,

difference in pay eligibility, service salary increase eligibility, or seniority except as provided in provisions 22.22

and 22.23 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Family care and medical leave shall refer to a leave for reason of the birth of a child; placement of a child in

connection with adoption or foster care; care of a child, parent or spouse who has a serious health condition; or

for one’s own serious medical condition. Maternity/paternity leave shall refer to a leave for the purpose of a

parent preparing for the arrival of a new infant and the care of a new infant. Additional documentation is required

for family care, medical, and maternity/paternity leaves without pay. Please contact a Benefits Coordinator in

Human Resources.

Please refer to Article 22 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement for further information about eligibility and other

aspects of a personal leave of absence without pay.

Professional leaves of absence without pay may be granted by the President. A professional leave of

absence without pay may be for purposes of research, advanced study, professional development, or other

purposes of benefit to the campus. Professional leave without pay may not be taken for outside employment.

Outside employment, defined as remunerative activity that does not contribute to the campus, is considered

personal leave without pay.

A faculty member on a professional leave without pay shall, when otherwise eligible, accrue service credit toward

probation, sabbatical eligibility, difference in pay eligibility, service salary increase eligibility and seniority. Please

refer Article 22 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement for additional information about maximum eligibility

periods and other aspects of a professional leave of absence without pay.

taking a tenured or tenure-track position at another university.
