Permanent separation used to separate an employee who fails to return from a leave of absence.
Absence without leave (whether voluntary or involuntary) for five consecutive working days is an automatic resignation as of the last date on which the employee worked. If the employee's FTE is part time, five of his/her consecutively scheduled workdays are considered the five working days. Refer to the respective CBA for represented employees or applicable policy for nonrepresented employees for additional information.
Employees who fail to return to work following a leave of absence, NDI leave, or TDL/IDL should be separated effective BOB on the date the employee was scheduled to return to duty.
Changes from unauthorized absence to vacation or CTO without prior written approval of the campus personnel officer and appropriate department head is prohibited.
An employee who is absent without leave is not paid for any holidays that fall during the period of absence, or for holidays that may fall within the period covered by lump sum credits.
An employee who files for and is granted reinstatement shall not be paid salary for the period of absence or separation, or for any portion thereof, unless specifically covered by stipulation or other agreement.
