Paid leave for a graduate teaching assistant For quite some times this question has popped up to my mind. In many jobs, you can take paid leave for some days. As a PhD student (F1-visa) in US, I am being supported by the department in the form teaching assistantship (TA) . Is there a provision for taking paid leave for TAs?
In the program I directed for many years, there was no provision for TAs to take paid leave.  They could take unpaid leave.
