We have authorization to provide paid emergency leave in cases where employees (faculty and staff) have been asked to participate in emergency operations associated with Hurricane Katrina. Up to 15 workdays may be granted. Participation will only be approved where requested by recognized and established professional or charitable groups engaging in emergency or humanitarian relief.
This leave must be requested in writing by the employee, approved by the employee’s supervisor and Dean/Vice President or their delegate. Send memos with approvals and supporting documentation to include the name of the organization, the nature of relief activities and the duration requested, to the Associate Vice President for Human Resources (Mail Code J5600). Once approval is granted, instructions on documenting the time will be provided.
