SECTION V I I I — 2-A. Each full-time permanent and continuous employee is entitled to a disability leave of two work weeks with pay in each year of service, no part of which shall be cumulative. Each permanent and continuous employee employed regularly but on a part-time basis is entitled to such fraction of two work weeks with pay as is represented by the relationship between this part-time employment and the full-time schedules in his classification. Any permanent and continuous employee, or any person who is employed in a position or in work which the University contemplates continuing for at least six months, but who has not yet completed six months' service in any classification or classifications of nonacademic employment, who is disabled before completing his first year of service will be allowed the same proportionate amount of the two work weeks' disability leave as the portion of the year completed. I concur.

On motion of Mr. McLaughlin these changes in policy were approved as recommended.
