Chairs/Directors on fiscal year contracts are to file a vacation/sick leave report form each year. Such reports are necessitated by the state's auditing system.

When any faculty member is ill or there is a serious illness or death in the family of a faculty member, it is important that this information be shared as quickly as possible with the College office.

The University's Long-Term Sick Leave Approval Form must be completed whenever a faculty member is unable to meet teaching obligations necessitating a paid substitute.

Administrative staff within departments/schools are required to fill out a Leave Reporting Form for any absence. Chairs/directors are responsible for verifying the report before it is forwarded to Payroll.
