Policy
Personal convenience leave without pay for Civil Service employees may be approved by the Assistant Vice President for Human Resources after consultation with appropriate members of departmental supervision. A number of factors are considered before such a leave is granted, i.e., length of service, work performance, previously approved leaves, the work environment, the reason for the leave and the impact of the approval/denial upon the department, the University and the employee. All accumulated vacation benefits and accumulated compensatory time must have been exhausted by the employee before a personal convenience leave of absence will be granted. Requests for such leave must be submitted in writing to the Office of Human Resources https://hr.illinoisstate.edu/forms/. Personal convenience leaves are normally approved for no longer than six months.
