Educational Leave
An employee may request leave for certain educational courses. Leave with pay for short periods (one course) is available through the Educational Assistance Program. Departments may allow any employee (permanent, probationary, or trainee) extended leave to participate in job- or career-related study based on the following criteria:
- verification that both labor market and organizational needs exist for development in the requested program,
- equal opportunity is provided in candidate selection, and
- employees are informed of procedures regarding educational leave.
Extended educational leave without pay is considered and approved according to the guidelines provided the Leave Without Pay policy.
Requests for educational leave must be submitted in writing to the supervisor or other designated official in sufficient time to accommodate supervisory review and administrative processing for personnel, payroll, and benefits actions to take place.
Questions
