Personal Leave

Personal leave is unpaid leave of absence for personal reasons that are not covered by other types of leaves offered by the University, or for additional time beyond the allowed time of a University permitted leave. Typical reasons include illness in the family, education, and other compelling personal needs.

Steps to Request Personal Leave (If Eligible)

  1. For other types of leave which are neither Personal Family Leave nor Family Medical Leave, eligible employees may consider requesting a personal leave of absence.
  2. An employee requesting Personal Leave must submit a written request to their supervisor and/or HR Business Partner in the Office of Human Resources as far in advance as possible and indicate an anticipated return to work date.
