Volunteerism
The University of Mount Union encourages employees to become involved in their communities, lending their voluntary support to programs that positively impact the quality of life within these communities. The following guidelines are for faculty and staff who serve as volunteers in 501(c)(3) non-profit community programs that are either of personal interest or are university-sponsored initiatives. Full-time employees may take up to 16 hours of paid time off each fiscal year (July 1 – June 30) to participate in their specific volunteer program. For the remainder of this fiscal year, which ends June 30, 2021, full-time employees may take up to 8 hours of paid time off for volunteerism. Volunteer time must be requested in advance and approved by your immediate supervisor. This approved time for volunteerism may be taken in as little as two-hour increments. Volunteer time should not conflict with the peak work schedules, create the need for overtime, or cause conflicts with other employees' schedules. Volunteer time does not carry over to the next fiscal year if not used.
