Common use of Retraining Leave Clause in Contracts

Retraining Leave. 1. A faculty member who could become qualified for a projected position vacancy within the time provided by a "Professional Leave" may apply for a retraining leave. All conditions applicable to "Professional Leave" must be met except that the faculty member will be preparing for another position rather than improving in the one held. If, after the retraining leave, the College cannot provide for the projected position because of program, enrollment, and/or financial changes, the faculty member affected may remain in their originally tenured position subject to all leave requirements. In the event a retraining leave is prompted by a non-renewal of program and the projected position does not materialize, the faculty member will not be provided a contract and will not be required to repay the College. All procedures pertaining to the following absences and leaves for faculty shall be made with due consideration being given to preserving the continuity of instruction and related activities to the fullest extent possible. Faculty shall meet with all scheduled classes except in cases of unavoidable absences due to illness, injury or similar uncontrollable factors. In case of any such absence from the College during normal working hours, a faculty member must notify the H.R. Office as soon as possible.
