The intention of this policy is to define vacation leave benefits listed in Regent Policy 11.E: Leave Policies for Faculty and Staff [14] for each employment classification.

1. University Staff and 12-Month Faculty
   1. Usage.  Upon approval by the supervisor, vacation may be taken after the close of the pay period in which the leave is earned.
      
      The appointing authority may establish periods of time when vacation leave will not be allowed, or must be taken, based on business necessity for the specific department or division.  These periods cannot create a situation where the employee does not have a reasonable opportunity to use requested leave. 
   2. Accrual.  Per regent policy 11.E, eligible full-time staff and faculty on twelve-month appointments are eligible to receive twenty-two (22) working days (176 hours) of paid vacation annually, earned as 14.67 hours per month.  An eligible employee who works part time (less than 100% appointment) accrues vacation on a pro-rated basis.  Accrual may not exceed forty-four (44) days (352 hours) on July 1 of every year.
   3. Transfer between Leave Eligible Appointments and Non-Leave Eligible Appointments.
      1. Employees in a leave eligible appointment (e.g., university staff and 12-month faculty) who transfer or return to a non-leave eligible appointment (e.g., nine-month faculty) shall be paid for earned unused vacation leave in accordance with this policy upon termination of the employee's leave eligible appointment so long as the employee meets the other criteria described in this policy.
      2. An employee in a non-leave eligible appointment (e.g., nine-month faculty) transferring into a leave eligible appointment (e.g., 12-month faculty or university staff) will start accruing per this policy upon the effective date of the leave eligible appointment.
   4. Holidays. When a holiday occurs during a vacation, the holiday is not considered a day of vacation time.
   5. Leave Without Pay. There is no vacation accrual during periods of leave without pay or on short work breaks, except for military leave without pay and furloughs.
   6. Compensation.  If an employee has multiple appointments, the compensation rate for the payout upon retirement or termination may be the average of the hourly rates on all active, leave eligible appointments, unless the leave balances were tracked and maintained separately for each appointment. 
2. Classified Staff
   1. Vacation leave benefits for classified staff are governed by the State of Colorado Personnel Board Rules.

The intention of this policy is to define sick leave benefits listed in Regent Policy 11.E: Leave Policies for Faculty and Staff [14] for each employment classification. The provisions of this University Sick Leave Policy are intended to be interpreted in conjunction with the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), Sick Leave and FMLA leave shall run concurrently, if applicable.

There is no limit on how much sick leave a nine-month faculty member may accrue. 
   2. Usage.  Sick leave may be required to be used when the university must replace the eligible faculty member in the classroom, or when the dean or other administrative superior, after consultation with the department concerned, shall so decide.

Employees in  university staff and 12-month faculty appointments who transfer or return to a nine-month faculty or other appointment that does not allow sick leave payouts are eligible to receive payment for earned, unused sick leave if eligible for early or full CU retirement at the time of transfer according to the maximums in Regent Policy 11.E: Leave Policies for Faculty and Staff [14]. [14]
      2. If the employee transferring from a university staff or 12-month faculty appointment to another university appointment that does not allow sick leave payouts is not eligible for early or full CU retirement, the sick leave balance, beyond 48 hours of retained sick leave, is forfeited upon transfer to the other appointment.

7. Classified Staff
   1. Sick leave benefits for classified staff are governed by the State of Colorado Personnel Board Rules.

Short-term paid administrative leave is permitted for eligible employees.  The president or chancellor may authorize paid administrative leave for employees during an approved campus closure or other emergency.  Classified staff administrative leave is governed by the State Personnel Board rules.

1. Extended Paid Administrative Leave (applies to all university staff and faculty on 12-month appointments)
   
   If a university staff or faculty member on a 12-month appointment is the subject of disciplinary action or an investigation, extended paid administrative leave may be authorized for such employee for a reasonable period of time.  In such circumstances, a reasonable period of time will be determined based upon the length of time it takes to complete an investigation.  Only the president or chancellors, or their designees, may authorize extended paid administrative leave for university staff and 12-month faculty for investigative purposes.
   
   However, the president or chancellors, or their designees, reserve the right to place university staff or faculty on a 12-month appointment on extended leave without pay. 
   
   In the event of an approved campus closure or other emergency, the president or chancellor may authorize extended paid administrative leave sufficient to address the immediate crisis.
    
2. Short-Term Paid Administrative Leave (applies to all university staff and faculty on 12-month appointments)
   
   Short-term paid administrative leave is not an entitlement or benefit.  Authorization of short-term paid administrative leave for eligible employees rests within the sole discretion of their supervisors as exercised within the guidelines described in this policy.
   1. Supervisor Granted Short-Term Paid Administrative Leave
      
      Supervisors may authorize short-term paid administrative leave for eligible employees for reasons determined to be for the good of the university and the state.  Supervisors shall consider prudent use of taxpayer dollars and the business needs of the university in determining whether such leave is for the good of the state.  Such reasons include, but are not limited to, incentive rewards, coursework directly related to employment, and participation in school or community volunteer activities.
      
      Short-term paid administrative leave may also be authorized for eligible employees whose workloads (e.g., specific long- or short-term projects) require them to work significantly beyond their normal work schedules (as established by their individual supervisors) for prolonged periods of time when such leave is found to be necessary to maintain employee performance or morale or in recognition of extraordinary work performance.
      
      Use of short-term paid administrative leave is not required for eligible employees for the purpose of attending or participating in professional or academic seminars or conferences, participation in official activities of university employee organizations or other similar events, or supervisor required training.  These activities are considered to be work time for which leave is not required.
      
      Supervisors of eligible employees may authorize short-term paid administrative leave for the purposes described in this policy.  A maximum of ten (10) days or eighty (80) hours of short-term administrative leave may be granted per fiscal year.
      
      Ordinarily, eligible employees must have their supervisor's authorization prior to taking short-term paid administrative leave.  In exceptional circumstances, short-term paid administrative leave may be authorized retroactively.
       
   2. Chancellor, President and/or Governor’s Short-Term Paid Administrative Leave
      
      The campus chancellor, CU president or Colorado Governor may grant administrative leave for campus closures or additional holidays.  Each closure decision will articulate if the campus is fully closed or limited to administrative offices only to allow for academic, clinical, and research activity to continue.
      
      If an employee is required to work on a designated administrative leave day, the employee may utilize the administrative leave hours at another time that is agreed upon between the employee and supervisor.
       
   3. Inclement Weather Short-Term Paid Administrative Leave
      
      The chancellor and presidents, or their designees, may issue a campus closure due to inclement weather.  Each campus follows a distinct inclement weather process and communication is campus specific.
      
      If an employee is required to work on a designated inclement weather administrative leave day, the employee may not utilize the administrative leave hours at another time as this leave is granted for safety purposes.
       
3. Volunteer Firefighter and First Responder Required Paid Administrative Leave (applies to all non-temporary employees)
   
   Per State of Colorado Executive Order D 2022 036, CU is required to grant five (5) days of additional administrative leave (8 hours each day, pro-rated for part time) per fiscal year, in support of non-temporary employees responding to a fire as a volunteer firefighter or volunteer first responder.  This time may not be used to train for voluntary firefighter or first responder duties.
    
4. Reporting Requirements
   
   All use of paid administrative leave for eligible employees, except in situations of campus closures, must be reported by use of the university's time collection procedures.

The Office of the Chief Human Resources Officer and Associate Vice President of Employee Services shall interpret this policy.

University staff and faculty on 12-month appointments may receive up to five working days of paid leave for each death to arrange for and attend the funeral and other affairs of a member of the employee's immediate family when they would otherwise have to work.

Bereavement leave is not intended to be used for end-of-life care.

For purposes of bereavement leave, immediate family members include: spouse, children, parents, grandparents, grandchildren, brothers, sisters, mothers-in-law, fathers-in-law, sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, sons-in-law, and daughters-in-law, and any other person who is a member of the employee’s established household. A supervisor may allow an employee to receive up to five paid working days of bereavement leave for an equally significant other person not included in this definition.

While all employees may utilize sick leave for bereavement purposes, per section 2 of this policy, university staff and faculty on 12-month appointments can exhaust bereavement leave allocation prior to utilizing sick leave. 

Supervisors have the discretion to ask for documentation when leave abuse is suspected.  Please work with Human Resources.

1. University staff and faculty on 12-month appointments are granted jury leave with full pay for the period of jury duty. When an employee appears as a witness under subpoena or direction of the proper authority, the employee is granted paid court leave for such service. Compensation received by employees for jury duty or as a witness may be retained by the employee.
2. If an employee appears in court in an individual capacity without being served a subpoena, the employee will use vacation leave or leave without pay. Compensation received by the employee may be retained by the employee.

Furloughs are unpaid leaves that may be voluntarily requested or mandated by the president or a chancellor when budgetary circumstances require a specific reduction in personnel costs.  Employees on furlough continue to accrue annual and sick leave at the same rates as when such employees are on paid leave or engaged in university work during regularly scheduled business hours.

University staff and faculty on 12-month appointments who suffer an injury or illness in the line of duty covered by workers' compensation are granted up to ninety (90) work days of paid injury leave. These benefits replace the more limited coverage of workers' compensation insurance which is waived by the employee during the ninety (90) days of injury leave. 

IIf an employee is unable to return to work after that time, the employee is eligible to take accrued vacation and sick leave in addition to workers' compensation.  Workers’ compensation leave runs concurrently with FMLA.

This administrative policy statement (APS) affirms the availability of leave sharing for all university staff, faculty on 12-month appointments and classified staff, and provides guidance regarding minimum procedural standards in its application, as may be further developed in campus and system policy.

1. The president and chancellors may establish leave sharing programs for their organizations for the purpose of allowing donated vacation leave to be used by their university staff, faculty on 12-month appointments and classified staff. For classified employees, such leave sharing programs may be further developed in accordance with applicable State Personnel Board Rules, subject to the following:
   1. Donations
      1. Only donations of accrued vacation leave are permitted; sick leave cannot be donated. Vacation leave donations must be documented in writing and approved by the donating employee’s department to assure sufficient accrued leave exists to support the amount of leave donated.
      2. Donations may include vacation leave that would otherwise be in excess of accrual limits permitted beyond June 30 of each year.
      3. Depending on the campus leave sharing program, donations may be made generally to a "leave sharing program" or to a specific person.
   2. Procedures
      1. Campuses must implement written procedures that provide information to employees regarding leave sharing eligibility criteria, how eligibility and leave amount determinations are made, and how employees may donate or make a request for leave sharing. Such written procedures shall include sample forms for employees to use when donating vacation leave and requesting leave sharing hours.
      Leave Sharing Discretionary
      1. The granting of leave sharing hours is discretionary, is not an employee’s entitlement and cannot be grieved or appealed. Additionally, donated vacation leave is not subject to payout upon termination of employment. All requests should be treated in a highly confidential manner.

2. CU Colorado Springs – Leave Sharing Policy [21]
3. CU Denver | Anschutz Medical Center – Leave Sharing Administrative Policy [22]
4. CU System Administration - Leave Sharing Policy [20]

University employees may be granted leave without pay for valid reasons for a period of up to 12 months. Such leaves must be approved by the employee's supervisor and the hiring authority. Leave without pay, except for military leave without pay and furloughs, will not be granted until all vacation leave (if eligible), sick leave (if reason for absence is listed in APS 5062 Section 2 or FMLA covered), and any additional accumulated paid leave is exhausted, unless otherwise requested by the employee and approved by the supervisor.

Extensions beyond the initial 12-month period must be approved by the applicable hiring authority in consultation with a human resources office. During periods of leave without pay or short work break, except for military leave and furloughs, the employee does not accrue vacation and sick leave.

1. Reservist or National Guard
   
   Use of military leave shall be consistent with state and federal laws. Upon presentation of proper military orders, university staff or faculty on a 12-month appointment who is a reservist or member of the National Guard with the United States Military is granted up to 21 calendar days of paid leave (prorated for current appointment percent of time) per fiscal year with pay to attend training and/or active-duty service ordered. This leave is not charged to vacation leave.
   
   If military service continues beyond 21 calendar days, the employee may utilize and exhaust their vacation leave.  Once the employee exhausts vacation leave or chooses not to utilize vacation time, the employee will be placed on military leave without pay for any remaining period of required military service. An employee on military leave continues to accrue vacation and sick leave.
    
2. Active Duty
   
   A department head may authorize pay equal to the difference between the employee’s university monthly pay and the sum of the monthly military pay and allowances for an employee called to active military duty. Such differential pay shall not exceed 90 calendar days and applies after exhaustion of the 21 calendar-day paid military leave. The employee must furnish a copy of the call-to-duty order and proof of military pay and allowances. This differential pay does not apply to regular military obligations such as the annual encampment and training.
   
   University staff or faculty on a 12-month appointment who voluntarily enters military service are granted military leave without pay until the end of the initial period of service, plus any period of additional service imposed by law. If the employee fails to return to the university after this period or voluntarily extends military service beyond the initial period, the employee is considered to have resigned.

The intention of this policy is to set forth the leave that a parent may take and define parental leave benefits for each employment classification.

During a public health emergency, the university will not provide supplemental sick leave for those employees who, by university policy, have the necessary amount of sick leave required by C.R.S. § 8-13.3-405(1)(a-b).  If during a public health emergency, an employee does not have the necessary amount of sick leave required by C.R.S. § 8-13.3-405(1)(a-b), the university will supplement the employee’s sick leave as necessary.

1. Supplemental sick leave
   ​
   The university will supplement an employee’s sick leave as necessary to ensure that an employee may take the following amount of sick leave:
   • 80 hours of paid sick leave for full-time employees; or
   • the greater of the number of hours the employee is scheduled to work in a 14-day period or the average time the employee actually works in a 14-day period for part-time employees.  Unused paid sick leave described above, may be counted towards an employee’s supplemental sick leave required during a public health emergency. 
2. An employee may take paid sick leave during a public health emergency if the employee:
   • is self-isolating due to a positive diagnosis, of the illness that is the cause of the public health emergency;
   • is experiencing symptoms, seeking a medical diagnosis, medical treatment, or seeking preventive care with respect to the illness causing the public health emergency;  
   • public health officials or the employer determines it is unsafe for the employee to come to work due to the public health emergency;
   • is caring for a family member in the above circumstances;
   • needs to care for a child or other family member whose childcare facility is unavailable, or the child’s childcare facility or school is closed due to the public health emergency;
   • is unable to work because the employee has a health condition that may increase susceptibility to or risk of a communicable illness that is the cause of the public health emergency. C.R.S. § 8-13.3-405(4)(a)-(b).
     
     An employee may use the public health emergency sick leave for four weeks after the official termination or suspension of the public health emergency.
     
     Employees are only eligible for supplemental paid sick leave once during the entirety of a public health emergency.
3. Documentation
   
   Documentation is not required to take paid sick leave during a public health emergency, but the employee should notify the supervisor as soon as possible.
    
4. Family member
   
   For purposes of section 12 and section 2, an employee’s family member means a person who is related by blood, marriage, civil union, domestic partner, or adoption to the employee; a child to whom the employee stands or stood in loco parentis; and a person for whom the employee is responsible for providing or arranging health or safety-related care.

The university encourages and supports public service among its faculty.  The policy establishes rules to ensure that tenured faculty are provided the opportunity to serve in elected office and provisions for non-tenured faculty who wish to serve.

1. As a private citizen, a faculty member may engage in political activities, including campaigning for elected office or serving in elected office.  The university shall not restrict such activity provided it does not interfere with the faculty member’s responsibilities to the university.  Potential conflicts of interest or commitment shall be addressed in accordance with APS 5012:  Conflicts of Interest and Commitment in Research and Teaching [27].
    
2. If a tenured faculty member is elected to a paid position that requires a full-time time commitment, a leave without pay shall be requested by the faculty member and shall be granted by the university.  If full-time service is required for only a specific period of time, a leave without pay shall be requested and shall be granted for the period of full-time service.
   1. Mandatory approval of leave without pay shall only apply to the first term of office.  Leave for subsequent terms may be negotiated with the dean of the faculty member’s school or college, but is not guaranteed.
3. Non-tenured faculty may request leave to serve in elected office; however, leave is not guaranteed. The tenure probationary period for tenure-track faculty shall only be extended if leave is granted and an extended probationary period is explicitly approved as part of that agreement.
    
4. A faculty member should contact Employee Services for information on the impact of a leave without pay or reduction in time (partial leave) on benefits eligibility.
