* Brief
absences for illness, jury duty, etc. are not tracked; postdocs
should just take them.
** Sick
leave and disabillity leave are combined
*** 22
the second year, 44 the third year, 66 subsequent years
****
All leave is lumped, as "postdoc leave", of
which there are 16 days
***** A
postdoc at BYU reported to me that postdocs are classified as “Non-CFS track faculty”, i.e.
non-tenure-track faculty, which is reflected here
Annual
= sick leave granted as a block at the beginning of the year to be used
whenever
Accrue
= sick leave gained incrementally with each pay period
FY = fiscal
year basis, July 1 to June 30
EY =
employment year basis, starting with date of hire
Waiting
period = length of employment before sick leave can be taken
Carry
over = unused sick leave can be "carried over" into the next year
