Andrews University Procedures Manual >
Sick Leave - Disability - FMLA > Faculty
Faculty
Quoting from the Andrews University Employee Handbook 2:391 and 2:392,
Medical Leave (2:391)
Faculty and salaried personnel ordinarily remain on the payroll for up to
six weeks within a given twelve month period for temporary absence from
work due to their own illness, injury, hospitalization, pregnancy, etc.
Arrangements for sick leave should be made with the department chair or
supervisor. (For other leave conditions see policy #1:733.)
Before returning to work, the faculty or salaried staff member may be
required to submit a statement from his/her physician stipulating any
temporary restrictions or limitations which need to be placed on his/her
work program.
If a deterioration in an employee's work performance indicates that the
change may be due to a physical or mental condition, perhaps requiring
sick leave, the department chair or supervisor in counsel with the
university administration, may counsel the employee to take sick leave
and, if it seems advisable, may require a physician's and/or
psychologist's statement as appropriate to the employee's ability to
continue work.
|
Disability Leave (2:392)
|
A faculty member who is deemed by a physician to be medically or
psychologically unfit to return to full-time employment after an absence
from work of six weeks shall be granted a temporary disability leave for
up to a total of six months absence from work. A temporary disability
leave can only be granted by the president after counsel with the
appropriate administrators and the vice president for academic
administration. Should a faculty member still be disabled after six
months he/she shall only at the vote of the Andrews University Board of
Trustees be allowed to remain on the payroll for a specified time.
