APPLICATION FOR VACATION/SICK LEAVE

OP32.11

Faculty and staff members who wish to take personal leave, i.e., vacation (for 12 month faculty members) or sick leave (for all faculty and staff members), must submit an Application for Leave form for exempt faculty and staff.  This form (Leave Reporting for Exempt Employees-Application for Leave) can be found on the Personnel web page at www.personnel.ttu.edu under Forms and Procedures.  There is a blank form for each month of the year, beginning with July and extending through August.  Each month can be accessed individually by clicking on the appropriate tab at the bottom of the Excel workbook.  These forms can then be printed and must be completed before the personal leave is taken.  In the circumstance of an illness, the Application for Leave form must be completed immediately after the employee returns to work.  After the form is completed it must be forwarded to your Department Chair or administrator for the approval signature.
