Leave of Absence FAQs 

If I am placed on a leave of absence after the ALW pay ends will I have to use all of my accrued time?
Yes, in order for your pay to continue you will have to use any unused vacation, holiday, compensatory time or personal holiday time. You are not eligible to use sick leave unless you are out sick.

If I am placed on a Leave of Absence without pay after November 14, when ALW pay ends, what will happen to my benefits?
If you are no longer receiving pay from UTMB and you are on a non-paid leave for a calendar month you will not receive state premium sharing and will be responsible to pay the full insurance premiums to UTMB.

Will I still receive credit in Teacher Retirement System (TRS) if I am on a non-paid Leave of Absence?
No, you must be working and contributing to your TRS account in order to accumulate creditable service time.

Am I eligible while on a non-paid Leave of Absence to withdraw my retirement funds from my account(s)?
No, you are only eligible to withdraw retirement funds if you are no longer employed by UTMB.
