Paid leave and holidays
The University recognizes the need to be away from your job and, when possible, provides you with compensation for that time through annual leave, sick leave, and holiday pay. You may use the leave form to request annual or sick leave.
Annual leave
Annual leave can be used for vacations and other absences as long as the leave is taken at times mutually acceptable to you and your supervisor. A maximum of 360 hours or 45 days may be rolled over annually.
