Ordinarily there is a cancellation charge applicable for appointments that are cancelled less than 48 hours in advance of a session. As my counselling psychotherapy practice is a primary source of my income, non-attended sessions can create a problem as I still need to pay rent for my room and facilities. Non-attendance also deprives another person of an appointment, generally at a time of great need. Sometimes there are very good reasons for people not turning up for an appointment; for example, a personal emergency at home or on the way to the appointment, but occasionally people forget or decide to do something different on the day of their appointment. For the reasons given above any non-attended appointments or cancellations outside of a 48 hour period will need to be charged for. In return, I agree to provide notice 48 hours in advance of cancelling an appointment that we have made, unless I experience my own personal emergency at home or on the way to our appointment, in which case short-notice cancellation might become necessary.
Ordinarily an individual faculty member’s full load shall be thirty LHEs during the regular academic year, which consists of the fall and spring Semesters. The portion of the full load that occurs in (or is assigned to, in the case of interim terms) each semester is called the base load for that semester. Spring Base Load is 30 LHE's minus Fall Base Load. For example, a Fall Base Load of 17 LHE's might be assigned, making the Spring Base Load 13 LHE's. An individual faculty member who is required by the College to acquire or maintain a license and/or certification in order to perform their responsibilities at the College (e.g., Nursing) may distribute the thirty (30) LHEs of base load among the fall, spring, and summer semesters. Such a distribution will be requested by the faculty member and the Xxxx at the start of the fall term, specifying the base load in each of the three semesters, with approval from the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
Ordinarily. Maternity Disability Leave is six (6) weeks or less and may be extended upon request. An employee may use a combination of Sick Leave, Annual Leave, Personal Holiday, Compensatory Time, and/or Leave Without Pay for the period of disability resulting from pregnancy. The choice of leave will be at the Employee’s option when eligible for Family Medical Leave. The Employee will not be required to use all paid leave prior to using Leave Without Pay. An employee may use one day of paid leave as determined by the supervisor for each month to maintain benefits. The day selected should be in the first pay period of the month, if possible. The day may not be a day before a University holiday which would make the Employee eligible for the holiday pay.
Ordinarily a nurse returning from an approved non-medical leave of absence will be returned to his or her same position, department, shift and schedule. However, if a nurse would otherwise be denied a leave request, the nurse may elect to waive the right to return to the same position, department, shift and/or schedule.
Ordinarily a personal leave is not granted for more than one year. If the employee needs more than one year, additional leave must be requested at least one month before the end of their original one-year leave. During an unpaid personal leave, the employee may continue their UVM insurance plans, but they must cover the full cost.
Ordinarily an employee is expected to continue to perform her duties until her physician certifies that she is physically incapable of performing her duties.

Ordinarily an employee is expected to resume her duties as soon after the termination of pregnancy as her physician certifies that she is physically capable of resuming the performance of her duties.
