Unclassified Staff - Catastrophic Leave

The Board Regents provides authority for catastrophic leave. The policy is described in Unclassified Personnel Guideline UPG #9.

Eligible Unclassified Recipients must satisfy the following conditions:

• Be on an approved unpaid leave of absence due to your own catastrophic illness or medical condition or that of an immediate family member.
• Provide sufficient written proof to the Chancellor or designee that a catastrophic illness or medical condition exists.
• Have exhausted all paid leave available, including sick leave.
• Not be receiving benefits from another state-sponsored income replacement program.

Additional Guidelines for Unclassified Employees

• Unlimited frequency to donate.
• Donations in full-day increments only.
• Leave solicitation is left to the discretion of each institution.
• Once leave is donated it is credited to an account created for the recipient's use, and the recipient retains all future rights to it.
• Donated leave may be used to meet the Income Continuation Insurance waiting period.
