Vacation & Leave Entitlement

A resident requesting days off their assigned rotation for any given reason (day-in-lieu, personal, conference, emergency) must ensure that the Request for Leave form is completed and signed. Stat days worked and being taken in lieu must be taken during the same rotation that the stat was worked. 

Leave requests for conferences, personal, flex, or study days must be applied for 30 days in advance. This is because the Program Coordinator often begins creating the resident’s schedule for specific rotations 4 weeks in advance of that rotation.

Vacation leave must be applied for 8 weeks in advance.

The process for leave requests is as follows:

• Complete a leave request form

• Forward completed form to the Program Coordinator (Linda Semper at mednid@ualberta.ca)

• Linda will seek approval and let you know results within 2 weeks

As per PARA agreements, you are entitled to the following:

• 4 Personal Day

• 20 Vacation Days

• 1 Lieu Day for every named holiday that is worked

Leave Request Form:  Please see the form section
