5.17 Faculty Sick Leave

Full-time employees accrue sick leave at a rate of 8 hours per month. Faculty members must submit appropriate prescribed leave forms for all sick leave the faculty member takes if the absence occurs during the normal workday for regular employees, even if no classes are missed.

Faculty members on nine-month contracts do not accrue sick leave during the summer months. Faculty members who have recurring nine-month contracts, and who are also employed during the summer in non-benefits eligible positions with the university, may not use accrued sick leave from their nine-month contract, during their non-benefits eligible summer employment.

Please see UHV Policy C-01 for detailed information about sick leave, as well as information regarding other types of leave (i.e., bereavement leave, jury duty).
