Fractional Leaves. A. Fractional leaves (less than 100%) will be granted only to tenured Teaching Professionals, Resource Professionals and Academic Support Professionals, who have completed two consecutive years of full-time service at the University. Probationary Teaching Professionals and Resource Professionals may apply for a fractional leave after completion of three probationary years of service and for the purpose of meeting the educational requirements for tenure.
B. In the case of fractional leaves of 25% or more granted for personal reasons to tenured Teaching Professionals or Resource Professionals who have not attained the rank of professor and Academic Support Professionals, who had previously completed two consecutive years of full-time service at the University, the time the person is employed during the period of the fractional leave will count proportionately toward years in rank or service. The percent of the fractional leave will be determined against the equivalent of nine months or more of annualized full time employment as a basis for one year of service for Teaching Professionals and Resource Professionals. The percent of the fractional leave will be determined by percent employment on a 12 month employment basis for Academic Support Professionals. Upon return from fractional leave status the Employee will be placed in the appropriate year in rank and/or will be credited with the appropriate years of service for promotion on a proportional basis as defined above.
C. The time of actual employment during a fractional leave shall be counted proportionately for purposes of determining eligibility for sabbatical leave, educational leave, or retraining leave to the extent that such leaves apply to the Employee. The equivalent of nine months or more of full time employment in any year will count as one year of service. Upon return from leave status, the employee will be credited with the appropriate years of service.
Fractional Leaves. An Employee may request a fractional leave (less than 100 percent) without salary. A fractional leave is one in which the Employee is assigned a fraction of the full workload. Ordinarily fractional leaves shall be granted only to tenured faculty. Probationary faculty may apply for a fractional leave after completion of three probationary years of service and only for the purpose of meeting the educational requirements for tenure. The equivalent of eight months or more of full-time employment in any year shall count as one year of service. Upon return from leave status, the Employee shall be credited with the appropriate years of service.
