Article VII-B, Leave Without Pay for Personal Reasons
Section B of Article VII, Leaves Without Pay, in the 2003-2009 UHPA/UH-BOR Agreement provides information about taking leave without pay for personal reasons.
B. LEAVE WITHOUT PAY FOR PERSONAL REASONS
1. Leave without pay may be granted to a Faculty Member for the purpose of engaging in activities judged by the Employer to be to the advantage of the University, but which do not qualify for leave without pay for professional improvement, provided that a temporary replacement satisfactory to the Employer can be secured. Such leaves shall normally not be granted for more than one (1) year at a time.
2. Personal leave may also be granted to a Faculty Member for compassionate reasons, provided that a temporary replacement satisfactory to the Employer can be secured. Such leaves shall not be granted for more than ninety (90) days at a time. When such leaves are of an emergency nature, approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
3. Leaves without pay for personal reasons are not creditable toward sabbatical leave.
