Requesting a Sabbatical Repayment in HRS

Overview

When an employee has been on sabbatical leave and doesn't fulfill their contract to work the required amount of time, upon return from leave, the sabbatical needs to be repaid. This amount is calculated by UWSS Service Operations. This user procedure provides instructions on how to request the amount owed and repayment details.

Process Considerations:

  • If the repayment crosses a calendar year it will result in the employee owing federal and state taxes as they can't be credited back
  • Employee will receive a W2C for any prior year adjustments after full payment is received at UWSS Service Operations
