Sabbatical records are added to the faculty employee’s appointment once the appointment is approved and prior to the employee utilizing sabbatical leave. The guidelines for faculty sabbatical leave can be found at https://faculty.umd.edu/faculty/leave_sab.html. to add a sabbatical record:5.2 Sabbatical

  • Enter the “Sabbatical Dates”, and the “Type of Sabbatical” (A full year sabbatical at 50% pay or a one semester sabbatical at 100% pay).

The PHR system will then reduce the employee’s FTE and salary in accordance with the sabbatical information entered. For example, if the sabbatical is for the full academic year, the PHR system will reduce the employees FTE and salary by 50% in accordance with the UMCP policy on sabbatical.
