As part of the planning and approval process, any impact on the employee's work schedule must be negotiated with their supervisor and may be cause for denial of a training request. If an employee is taking training as part of the previously approved professional development plan, work schedules should be adjusted in accordance to accommodate the training.
Employees may pursue continuing education/training for personal reasons that are outside of their role within FPB. Generally, employees take accrued time-off for personal training. The time-off must be approved by their supervisor.
Release time is granted according to the UW Release Time Policy, which allows up to 24 hours per quarter plus travel time for training and development.
