Other leave types for eligible faculty include Funeral/Bereavement, Jury Duty, Witness Service, and more. See  See HR: Other Paid Time Off for eligibility and details.

Using the same procedure as for for requesting faculty sick leave, the faculty member should select the appropriate time type from the drop-down menu (e.g. Emergency - Funeral/Bereavement, Jury Duty, etc.), and include a brief justification in the comments section. A video demonstration is available at at Vimeo: Request Absence.
