Life Events - Sabbaticals or Scholarly Activity Leaves

During your Sabbatical or Scholarly Activity Leave, your benefits will continue the same as when you are a regular, active staff member, as long as you continue to receive a salary.

If you are on a Scholarly Activity Leave without a salary, your university contributions toward the cost of your benefits will continue. However, you will be responsible for making arrangements to pay the cost. Contact the HR/Payroll Service Center for more information.

If you are enrolled in a managed care plan and will be moving out of the service area during your Sabbatical or Scholarly Activity Leave, you may need to change your medical plan. See Moving Out of a Managed Care Service Area for more information.
