Leave Management Resources for Employees

Welcome to the University of Arizona Leave Management web site.

At some point in your career, you may be faced with a personal or family illness or other life event that requires you to be away from work for an extended period of time. Human Resources is available to assist you in managing the leave you need to handle these life events and to ensure a smooth transition back to your role within the University community.

The following resources provide an overview of leave/absence categories:

• Administrative Absence (e.g., Bereavement, Jury Duty)
• Alternative Work Arrangements (e.g., Temporary Alternative Duty Assignment)
• Leaves (e.g., Family Medical Leave, Personal Leave of Absence, Extended Military Leave of Absence)
• Time-off Pay Programs (e.g., Paid Sick Time, Compassionate Transfer Leaves, Annual Leave/Vacation)
• Disability Insurance Programs (Short-Term Disability, Long-Term Disability)

For any specific leave, you will find guidelines on:

• Definition of Leave/absence
• Eligibility
• Procedure for applying for and having a leave/absence approved
• What happens to your benefits during the leave/absence
• Forms to be completed
• Related University and Arizona Board of Regents Policy
• Frequently Asked Questions

Procedures for administering leaves/absence can vary by campus and department/unit. Consult with your Supervisor/Payroll Specialist about internal expectations and procedures. In addition, you may also contact your Leave Advisor if you have additional questions.

If there is a discrepancy between information on these web pages and related University policies and procedures and other official plan documents and contracts, the applicable policies/official documents always govern.
