Employment & Benefits
Short-Term Medical or Funeral Leaves
A member of the faculty should notify the department chair and the provost of short-term absences up to five days in length due to serious personal circumstances such as a faculty member’s acute illness preventing him or her from being able to work or the death of a family member. Regular salary and benefits will continue during such short-term leaves. Arrangements for classes and other responsibilities will be made with the department chair. If it becomes necessary to extend a leave beyond five days in any of these circumstances, further leave benefits may be considered, in negotiation with the department chair and provost.
