Leave Without Pay Dates: Options For Academic Year Appointed Faculty and Academic Staff

OPTIONAL LEAVE WITHOUT PAY DATES FOR ACADEMIC YEAR APPOINTED FACULTY AND ACADEMIC STAFF

This advisory statement was issued by the Office of the Provost on May 28, 1993.

Faculty and academic staff requesting a leave without pay for one semester may choose among several payroll options. The options are necessary because academic-year (AY) appointed faculty and academic staff perform duties over the academic year, but are paid over twelve months.

Fall Semester

Faculty and academic staff on a leave without pay for fall semester are released from university responsibilities for the period 8/16 through 12/31, and off the university payroll for the period 8/16 through 12/31 and 5/16 through 6/30. In this instance, the individual faculty member should contact the Benefits office, at 3-4434, to assure that they clearly understand benefits options during the periods of their leave. (If a faculty or academic staff member subsequently terminates employment between 1/1 and 5/16, official payroll dates will be adjusted in recognition of the individual's residual no-pay obligation.)

Spring Semester

Option 1:

Faculty and academic staff on a leave without pay for the spring semester are released from university responsibilities for the period 1/1 through 5/15, and off the university payroll for the six-month period 2/16 through 8/15.

Option 2:

Faculty and academic staff on a leave without pay for the spring semester are released from university responsibilities for the period 1/1 through 5/15, and off the university payroll for the period 1/1 through 6/30.
