Extended Telecommute Timeframe:
As you know, UC campuses, the UC Office of the President and UC ANR are working to protect our community by issuing guidance to minimize face-to-face interactions, reduce commuting and travel, and enable social distancing. On March 16, six Bay Area counties announced shelter-in-place orders, and the UC Office of the President in Oakland extended their telecommute date through least April 7 to align with county directives. UC ANR has also adjusted the proposed end date for our telecommuting and limited on-site operations status to April 7 in order to align with UCOP. Please keep in mind that the end date will likely continue to fluctuate and bear with us as we work to communicate changes.
UC Paid Administrative Leave Guidance:
President Napolitano issued updated guidance on March 16 outlining expanded paid administrative leave to address the extraordinary demands placed on UC employees and their families due to COVID-19. The executive order makes all employees eligible to receive a one-time allotment of up to 128 hours of paid administrative leave to be used no later than December 31, 2020, based on certain conditions. UC ANR HR will be providing more information on the application of this guidance in the coming days. In the meantime, please contact John Fox with any questions regarding this topic.
