Sick Leave

Sick leave is provided by the university to both faculty and staff positions. Review the information below regarding the use and accrual of sick leave. 

All benefit eligible employees - including faculty members, regular full-time staff, and regular part-time staff are eligible to accrue sick leave. 

Eligible university employees earn sick leave on a bi-weekly basis. The amount an employee earns depends on the number of hours worked (not including overtime).

Examples of the sick leave accrual for a full-time employee working a maximum of 80 hours per pay period (40 hours per week) and a part-time employee working 40 hours per pay period (20 hours per week) is listed below. Sick leave does not have a cap on accrual but has no monetary value.
