Other types of leave - faculty

Other leave types for eligible faculty include Funeral/Bereavement, Jury Duty, Witness Service, and more. See HR: Other Paid Time Off for eligibility and details.

Using the same procedure as for requesting faculty sick leave, the faculty member should select the appropriate time type from the drop-down menu (e.g. Emergency - Funeral/Bereavement, Jury Duty, etc.), and include a brief justification in the comments section. A video demonstration is available at Vimeo: Request Absence.
