Common use of Policy Application Clause in Contracts

Policy Application. This policy applies to regular full-time support staff. Approvals for study leaves are required from the employee's immediate supervisor, the ▇▇▇▇, Director or appropriate Department Head, and the appropriate Vice-President. Study leave costs should generally be included in departments' annual budget requests since the costs of leaves are to be borne by the employees' departments. Exceptional cases, or those where the need cannot be foreseen, may be financed in whole or in part through the use of University contingency funds. Application for study leave shall be evaluated on the basis of the benefit to the University, the employee's work history, and the ability of the employee's department to accommodate the leave.
