employee will be deemed to have voluntarily terminated employment with the University. If the employee requests an extension of leave beyond the initial 12-week period, the employee must submit medical certification of continued serious health condition in advance for each month that the leave is extended. Reinstatement is not guaranteed on an extended leave and will depend on University needs.
- No Work While On Leave. The taking of another job while on Family/Medical Leave or any other authorized leave of absence is grounds for immediate termination.
- State And Local Family And Medical Leave Laws And Other University Policies.
Where State or local family and medical leave laws offer more protections or benefits to employees, the protections or benefits provided by such laws will apply.
60.6 LEAVE OF ABSENCE
A leave of absence is an extended period of time absent from work without loss of employment. The University will grant leaves of absence in a few well defined cases, and up to a maximum of 30 days. An extension beyond 30 days will be considered in the event of serious or extenuating circumstances.
Leaves of absence are generally without pay, unless provided otherwise. Therefore, employees will be required to exhaust other forms of paid time off, such as vacation time, before unpaid leave begins.
A written request for a leave of absence, providing full explanation of the circumstances, must be presented to the immediate supervisor at least two weeks before the start date of the leave. The leave must be approved in writing by the appropriate Vice-President. Please note that if an employee fails to report to work on the first day after the expiration of the leave, the employee may be considered to have voluntary terminated employment.
60.7 BEREAVEMENT LEAVE

Regular, full-time employees are eligible to receive two (2) days with pay for grandparents, grandchildren, stepparents, stepchildren, and relatives residing in the same household.
