Benefits — Section 15

PAID SICK TIME

Paid sick time for administrative faculty members is provided as a transition to the Intermediate Term Disability (see Section 16) and Long-Term Disability policies (see Section 3 for additional information).

In the event of illness or injury, it is the responsibility of the administrative faculty member to notify his or her supervisor prior to the start of the normal business day or in the event that the faculty member must leave early. An absence without notice may be the basis for disciplinary action. If there is a pattern of absences that adversely impacts job performance or others in the office, then the supervisor may notify the faculty member in writing that a doctor’s statement certifying the illness will be required in order to be paid for missed days.

For illnesses or injuries that last more than five (5) days, the administrative faculty member may be required by the supervisor to submit a written statement from the attending physician certifying the faculty member’s ability or inability to return.

It is expected that teaching faculty members will ensure that their academic responsibilities are met or covered by other faculty members. Teaching faculty members should contact their convener in the case of short illnesses and the Provost for longer illnesses that will have an impact on their teaching obligations.
