Employee comment sought on academic family-leave policy changes
The University of California invites comments on proposed revisions to Sections 715 and 760 of the Academic Personnel Manual:
- APM - 715, Leaves of Absence/Family and Medical Leave
- APM - 760, Family Accommodations for Childbearing and Childrearing
Summarized below are the proposed key policy revisions that are being distributed for systemwide review:
- Proposed revisions are being made to APM - 715, Leaves of Absence/Family and Medical Leave, and APM - 760, Family Accommodations for Childbearing and Childrearing in order to reflect the increase in the paid family leave benefit from 70% to 100% of eligible earnings, with a proposed effective date of January 1, 2023. All other aspects of the policies will remain the same.
The proposed policy may be viewed at https://ucanr.edu/sites/anrstaff/Administration/Business_Operations/Controller/Administrative_Policies_-_Business_Contracts/Policy_and_administrative_handbooks/ANR_Administrative_Handbook/Recent_Updates.
