Below is a summary and explanation of sabbatical leave.

Article 27 - Sabbatical Leave: 

Section One: Sabbatical leaves may be requested and granted for periods of up to ten months for the two college semesters of the regular school year, or up to five months for the spring or fall college semester or up to two months for the college summer session or other interim session.

Section Two: Sabbatical leaves for eligible employees shall be granted for professional improvement designed to benefit the State of Connecticut.

Section Three. Employees shall become eligible to be granted a sabbatical leave after seven (7) years of continuous State service but may submit an application prior to the completion of the seven years.

Section Four. Each applicant is required to present a written plan of study or a project, the successful completion of which will provide benefit both to the candidate and to the Employer. The recipient must take at least twelve (12) credits per semester or its equivalent.

Section Five. A staff member granted sabbatical leave is obligated to return to the Employer for two (2) years of service. This requirement will not apply should the staff member become incapacitated or should the State of Connecticut waive the requirement.

Section Six. The basic leave compensation will not exceed seventy-five percent (75%) of the regular salary schedule normally covering the candidate during the period of any leave for the two college semesters of the regular school year. The basic leave compensation will not exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the regular salary schedule normally covering the candidate during the period of any leave for a college semester or summer session or other interim session.

Process:

  • Applications are typically submitted in late January (the Contract deadline says January 10, but we frequently push that deadline back).

  • A written application must be sent  to your designated manager. 

  • A copy should also be sent to our Union representative, Joanna James. 

  • Decisions are typically made by March.
