Time Away from Work
Carnegie Mellon respects the balance you seek to achieve between your professional and private lives. From taking care of yourself or a child with a minor illness to coping with a disabling condition, you may have a variety of reasons for needing to be away from work.
The university provides several types of benefits to accommodate your needs to take time off. The eligibility requirements, compensation and benefits for each type of leave differ. In all cases, you should notify your supervisor and seek approval for time away from work with as much advance notice as possible.
