42 Jury Duty and Court Attendance Leave Jury duty or court attendance leave provides time off to full-time and part-time regular employees, interpreter support staff, and full-time auxiliary employees who fulfill their civic responsibility when summoned. Employees who are summoned for jury duty or summoned to court for other than personal reasons will receive normal compensation during the period of absence from the College. To be compensated, the employee must remit to the College all compensation received by the employee for jury duty or court attendance (except for reimbursement for mileage and meals). Employees must submit to their supervisor a copy of the summons to service as soon as practicable after it is received. Employees are expected to return to work when they are released. In addition, proof of service must be submitted to the supervisor when the period of jury or court attendance is completed. Unpaid Leave With approval, regular employees may be granted an unpaid leave of absence. Additional information and the criteria for unpaid leave is outlined in the Leave Benefits Policy and Procedures. Sabbatical Leave Sabbatical leave may be granted on a limited basis, contingent upon the availability of funding and Board of Trustees approval, to those regular full-time administrators and full-time faculty who have completed six (6) continuous years of service at the College in the employee category in which they are applying for a sabbatical. The sabbatical leave salaries may be reduced to reflect employee compensation received during the sabbatical from other sources (e.g., grants-in-aid, fellowships, or scholarships). Full-Time Faculty Sabbatical leave for faculty may be granted for periods of one-half year with no reduction in salary or one full year at one-half of annual salary. Full-time faculty become eligible to submit an Application for Sabbatical Leave form after completing six (6) continuous years of service as a full-time faculty member who met or exceeded overall expectations on performance appraisals. Full-time faculty must verify eligibility for sabbatical with Human Resources prior to submitting an application. Human Resources will verify eligibility based on years of continuous service and performance criteria. Sabbatical categories, guideline information, and criteria for eligible full-time faculty are available from the Office of the Provost/Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs, Continuing Education, and Workforce Development. Full-time faculty must submit the Application for Sabbatical leave form to their Department Chair by October 15 of the academic year prior to the requested sabbatical. The Department Chair will review the sabbatical proposal and submit a recommendation to the Provost/EVP for AACEWD. The Provost/EVP for AACEWD will convene a committee to review the eligible applications/proposals and recommend final candidates to the Provost/EVP for AACEWD. The Provost/EVP for AACEWD will forward committee recommendations to the Senior Leadership Team (SLT). All faculty sabbatical leave must be approved by the SLT and the Board of Trustees. Full-time faculty who are granted sabbaticals must complete a full year of employment with the College following the sabbatical or repay the salary received during the leave.
