Assisted
Leave
The
Assisted Leave Fund is a negotiated benefit for full time faculty of
the UCCFA with the sum total being 1.25% of the amount budgeted for
full-time salaries. (Article 12 of the UCCFA Collective
Agreement). Of this total amount, the Assisted Leave
Committee allocates approximately 2/3 of the funds for long-term
leave, 1/6 for special projects and 1/6 for travel and conference.
These percentages may vary depending on the requests
received. Decisions are made according to seniority, the
quality of the application, the amount requested, whether support
has been received previously, and the level of expressed support for
the proposal. Every effort is being made to ensure it is allocated
in a fair and equitable manner. See "Assisted
Leave" for further information on application deadlines,
criteria, etc.
