24.13 Procedures for Applying for Sabbatical Leave
(a) Employees who are eligible for Sabbatical Leave may make an application on the appropriate form (as contained in Appendix 24.1) in writing to the Head (or, for the Curator, the Dean of Arts) and send a letter stating the dates of an intended Sabbatical Leave to the Dean and Provost by 1 September of the academic year immediately preceding the academic year in which the Leave is to be undertaken. An up-to-date Curriculum Vitae shall form part of the application. Should the Employee wish to convert a portion of salary to research grant income as per Article 24.25, the Employee shall submit a research budget, conforming with Tri-Council Policy on eligible expenses, for the purpose of converting up to the maximum amount allowable under Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) regulations. The Employee shall submit a Sabbatical Leave project which demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Academic Unit (or for the Curator, the Dean of Arts) and the Committee that the Leave shall be of sufficient scholarly, or pedagogical contribution to justify its being granted.
