If you are a benefits eligible full-time or regularly scheduled part-time employee with one continuous year of service, you may request a leave of absence without pay for unusual conditions or personal circumstances other than those listed under the leave of absence for family and medical reasons or disability leave of absence. Such requests are treated on an individual basis depending on the purpose and length of the leave, the nature of service of the requester, and the needs of the department/college at the time of the request. The Assistant of Human Resources and your supervisor will review each case individually on its merit and will approve or disapprove the leave. Because of the disruptive impact on departmental operations, unpaid personal leaves can be granted only for compelling reasons. You must use all accrued vacation days. The remainder of the leave period will be unpaid. You may continue group insurance coverage while on leave by pre-paying your share of the premium for the period of the unpaid leave. Sick and vacation time cease to accrue during the leave of absence.
