How To Report Sick Leave and/or File a Disability Claim

University employees may use sick leave to cover their salary during periods of brief illness. You are required to notify your supervisor prior to your scheduled start time if you will be unable to work due to illness for up to three days, and report any sick leave taken in Axess.

If you are ill or injured and unable to work for more than three partial or full days, you must obtain written notification from your physician verifying your inability to work due to illness or injury, and provide this notification to the Human Resources Manager.

University employees are covered by disability insurance in the event of a qualifying illness or injury. In the event of serious illness, injury or a non-emergency, scheduled medical procedure, you may be eligible for disability benefits. Please review the information provided on the Cardinal at Work web site regarding eligibility and reporting procedures.
