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 doctors
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 members 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. |
