Leaves of Absence & Other Time Off

Actions to take when you go on leave or when you return from leave

There may be times in your career with the University that you will take a leave of absence. It could be a sabbatical, for personal reasons, or for a disability. It may be a paid or unpaid leave. Depending on the kind of leave and whether or not it is paid or unpaid, determines how your benefits will be affected.

• Review the appropriate checklist(s) and/or factsheet(s) to see what happens to your benefits while you are on leave and to help you determine what actions you need to take.
