Policy

Adelphi University recognizes that personal reasons may necessitate an employee’s absence from work. The University provides paid personal days to employees for religious, or other personal reasons.

All full-time and part-time non-union employees (working twenty-five hours or more per week on a regularly scheduled basis) are covered. Personal days for union represented employees are covered in the applicable collective bargaining agreement.

全职非工会员工每学年有四(4)天的个人假期。对于新员工和兼职或工作少于12个月的员工，个人日数是按比例计算的。未使用的事假不得结转至下一财政年度。在雇佣关系终止时，员工未休假的个人日薪将不予支付。小时工无权享受带薪事假。

Supervisors should inform employees of the approval and reporting process for personal days.

Personal Days During an Emergency Closing

For Non-Union Employees:

In the event of a scheduled personal day on a day which was subsequently designated by the University as an emergency closing, the employee will NOT be charged for the personal day as originally approved. The employee’s timesheet will reflect the emergency closing (e.g., a snow day, flood, etc.) for the day or portion of the day (.5) if the University closed early.

For Union Employees:

In the event of a scheduled personal day on a day which was subsequently designated by the University as an emergency closing, the applicable Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) will supersede University policy. Union employees should refer to their CBA for further details on emergency closings.
