We have staff that love the opportunity to give back to the community throughout our campuses. That’s why every year, our employees are able to receive one day (eight hours) of paid leave for participating in an IU-sponsored volunteer event.
One volunteer paid leave of up to eight hours is available each calendar year for staff employees who participate in an IU-sponsored volunteer event. Volunteer paid leave is available to all staff employees at IU.
A campus, school, or unit may work with an eligible non-profit organization to set up a specific event where staff employees may choose to volunteer (e.g. a Habitat for Humanity build), or designate a day when staff employees may volunteer for eligible non-profit organizations that are selected and approved in advanced by a vice president, or the campus chancellor, provost, or dean, or that individual’s designee.
Paid volunteer leave cannot be split up over days—it must be used in a single day.
Staff employees may use up to one paid workday (up to 8 hours) per calendar year for an approved volunteer event. For multi-day events or additional events during the year, you may use vacation, PTO, or income protection time.
Paid volunteer leave applies only to the time spent actively volunteering during the designated event.
