The University of Austin has launched a new type of leave called the Wellness Time specifically for leave-eligible employees to support the health and wellness of its employees. The leave can be used for any wellness activity supporting the prevention, treatment or promotion of the employee's physical, mental, or emotional well-being. 

Eligible employees will have access to a maximum eight (8) hours of wellness time off each fiscal year when they complete an annual preventative care visit and complete a "Well-Being Assessment" in the new UT Living Well Platform powered by Limeade. Upon the completion of both a preventative care visit and an assessment of the Living Well Platform, a certification will be sent to Workday (Absence Balance), and the wellness time off will appear in the following month for use. There is a separate process for employees who are not UT Select plan members.

Please visit the Human Resources Wellness Time Off webpage for more additional information regarding what type of preventative care visits apply this time off type, how time off is prorated based on full or part-time employment status, how employees who are not UT Select health insurance plan can secure their time off, and other frequently asked questions.
