Leave
Faculty
A Faculty Leave Application must be completed for all absences (including on campus meetings).
Sick Leave
Hours for sick leave are earned at the rate of 4 hours per biweekly pay period. These days may be used for your own illness and medical appointments, or those of your family. Eighty hours are accrued each school year and accumulate from year to year. Accumulated sick leave can be found on your pay stub.
Extended Sick Leave
P. K. Yonge faculty can elect to be members of the Sick Leave Pool for the University of Florida in their second year of employment at the school. Membership ensures that salary continues during extended illnesses. Membership in the pool consists of “donating” eight hours from your earned sick leave. The donation can be made after you have accrued 64 hours of sick leave. These hours are combined with those of other faculty and staff across the UF campus and made available as needed. An application process is required to use hours in the pool. Amy Neal has the information, should such a need arise.
Personal Leave
Five personal days are allotted each year, which do not carry over from year to year. One of these days is considered administrative leave and is “free”, and the other four are deducted from your sick leave. Requests for personal leave should be made well in advance of the needed date, as they require approval of both the principal and the Director.
Important Note for Faculty: Per Article 21.11 regarding P.K. Yonge Faculty Personal Leave, faculty members employed at P.K. Yonge may be granted five (5) days (non-cumulative) of leave per year for emergencies or for other personal reasons. This personal leave may not be used on the day immediately preceding or following a holiday. Details: Article 21.11
