How to apply for leave
In order to apply for leave you must:
Step 1: submit a written, signed, and dated request for leave to your supervisor cc your departmental Human Resources representative indicating:
- the dates for which you are requesting leave and the date you intend to return to work,
- how you are requesting that time and attendance be submitted if your leave is approved (e.g., accrued sick and/or vacation time, personal time, unpaid leave, etc.), and
- if requesting an intermittent leave, the work schedule you propose.
Step 2: submit a Certification of Health Care Provider form completed by the treating physician to your departmental Human Resources representative
The Certification form differs if it is for your own illness, that of a family member or that of a family member who was injured in service with the U.S. military. During your leave you must remain in contact with your supervisor about your own or family member’s medical progress and/or changes in your leave situation and intention to return to your University position.
