507 Administrative Development Leave

Members of Centre’s salaried staff who have served full-time for at least fifteen consecutive years, may request a four to six week paid leave of absence to pursue study or professional development. Normally, these leave of absences would occur during the summer months. Such a request should go to their immediate supervisor and then to the senior staff for discussion and possible approval. Relevant consideration are: the maintenance of orderly work in the area without the necessity of hiring replacements, the relevance and value of the project proposed, the quality of the individual’s record of work performance, and the timing of such a leave in such a way as to minimize disruption of service.
