Personal leave time not used remains available as Sick Time, subject to the maximum accrual of Sick Time. However, as they accrue Sick Time each month, they may use that accrued time for personal reasons, always subject to the limit of three days of personal leave per year. Employees in their first year of service may take personal leave following the completion of six months of employment.Įmployees who have exhausted their Sick Time balance have no personal days to their credit. For purposes of tracking the three days of personal leave, the year runs from the employee’s anniversary date.Įmployees may also use all or part of their personal time for the illness of a family member, in addition to the 40 hours from their accrued Sick Time leave that they may use for family illness, as noted in Section 4.4.2.1 Use of Accrued Sick Time for Family Member’s Illness and Medical Appointments. Support Staff who are scheduled to work at least 50 percent time and who have completed six months of service at the Institute may use up to three days of their accrued Sick Time each year for absences associated with personal situations such as home repairs, or legal or financial business, that necessitate short-term absences. MIT's policy on personal leave is intended to provide Support Staff with flexibility in their work situations by allowing paid time away from work to accommodate personal needs which otherwise would have to be charged to vacation balances. 14.0 Research Policies and Public and Private SupportĤ.7.1 Personal Leave 4.7.1.1 Personal Leave for Support Staff.12.0 Relations with the Public, Use of MIT Name, and Facilities Use.11.0 Privacy and Disclosure of Personal Information.10.0 Academic and Research Misconduct and Dishonesty.9.0 Relations and Responsibilities Within the MIT Community.
