April 5, 2009 - April 11, 2009 Archives

As part of the comprehensive review of administrative policies, the Human Resources policy "Military, Court Appearance, or Civic Duty Leaves" has been reviewed and updated.

The new version of the policy is available on the University policy web site at: http://policy.umn.edu/groups/hr/documents/Policy/MilCourtCivicLeave_pol.cfm

The updated administrative procedure "Requesting a Military Leave" is available at: http://policy.umn.edu/groups/hr/documents/procedure/milcourtcivicleave_proc1.cfm

Both the policy and procedure also can be accessed through the Office of Human Resources web site.

Key changes to the policy include eliminating language about military family leaves (now included in the administrative policy "Family and Medical - FMLA Leaves") and including paid leave to serve as an election judge. Also note some clarifying language regarding military leaves.

Replacement teaching funding requested through IRIS for fall 2008 has been transferred to program 20031 onJE# 0000068855.
