Leaves of Absence
Leaves of absence are granted for various purposes. Information for your specific group is available through "Benefits" under "Benefits Specific to:".
When an employee needs to take a leave of absence, they should first contact their supervisor or department chair. They also need to contact the Human Resources Employment Office, 581-3463, Room 2020, Old Main, and the Human Resources Benefits Services, 581-5825, Room 2031, Old Main. Depending on the type of leave to be taken, the employee may need to provide documentation stating the reason for the leave (i.e., military orders, doctor's notice, etc.). It is important that employees taking a leave contact the Employment and Benefits offices, as there may be paperwork to be completed. The employee will also want to find out if their benefits will be affected by the leave.
