Personal convenience leave without pay for Civil Service employees may be approved by the Director of Human Resources after consultation with appropriate members of departmental supervision. A number of factors are considered before such a leave is granted, i.e., length of service, work performance, previously approved leaves, the work environment, the reason for the leave and the impact of the approval/denial upon the department, the University and the employee. All accumulated vacation benefits and accumulated compensatory time must have been exhausted by the employee before a personal convenience leave of absence will be granted. Requests for such leave must be submitted in writing to the Office of Human Resources. Personal convenience leaves are normally approved for no longer than six months.
