Faculty Serious Illness & Disability Leave
University policy does not provide a sick or annual leave allowance for Multi‐Year Contract Faculty. However, should a Faculty member be absent due to a serious health condition or family leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), he/she may request paid leave pursuant to UNCSA’s Medical Leave Policy. Visiting faculty and guest faculty are not eligible for this benefit.
Questions regarding leave benefits should be referred to the Benefits Coordinator in Human Resources.
