XVII.C.3   Benefits During a Leave

See Section XVIII.D for a more complete description of the fringe benefit plans that follow.

a. Health, Dental, and Group Life Insurance. Faculty on an unpaid leave of absence are responsible for their share, if any, of health, dental, and group life insurance costs. Yale will pay its share for the period of the leave. Faculty members who wish to maintain health, dental, and group life insurance coverage should contact the Benefits Office to arrange for prior payment of the individual's contribution.

b. Disability Insurance. For faculty members on unpaid leaves of absence, the University will continue to provide, at no cost to the individual, insurance as partial protection against loss of income and pension benefits resulting from long-term disability.

c. Retirement Annuities. The University will not make payments to retirement accounts for faculty on unpaid leave of absence. Faculty who wish to make personal contributions to retirement accounts should call the Benefits Office to make special arrangements.

d. Scholarship Plan for Sons and Daughters of the Faculty and Staff. During any semester in which a faculty member is on a leave of absence without receiving salary from University funds, the individual's children are not eligible to receive scholarship awards under the University's Scholarship Plan for Sons and Daughters. An unpaid leave does not count as a disruption of continuous University employment, but time spent on unpaid leave with outside employment does not count toward the six years of continuous full-time service that are required for eligibility in the Scholarship Plan.

e. Payroll Deductions to Third Parties. Faculty who take leaves of absence without salary should make arrangements with the appropriate office to maintain or discontinue, as desired, payments normally made by payroll deductions to third parties, such as the Yale Credit Union, the Yale Parking Service, and banks participating in the University Mortgage Program.

f. Tuition Benefit. Faculty on leave without salary and their spouses or civil union partners will continue to be eligible for tuition benefits on the same terms as those for faculty not on leave.
