Personal leave, not to exceed 4 days (32 hours for regular employees, 24 hours for teaching faculty, and 28 hours for service faculty) per year (non cumulative), may be granted for a legal, professional, emergency, religious, or other unique activity which can be accomplished only on the day involved. Examples may include assisting a relative in an emergency situation, an appointment with a professional, a funeral, etc. Personal time does not need to be pre-approved. As much advance notice as possible should be given for scheduling purposes.
The personal leave hours that are allocated are NOT in addition to sick leave hours but will be subtracted from sick leave hours when used. In other words, if you use personal hours, you must have sick leave hours available.
Personal time is not to be used routinely to come in late or leave early from work. One additional day may be approved by the appropriate college President/Provost or Vice Chancellor with prior approval.
