UC President Napolitano has temporarily approved expanding the reasons for which policy-covered staff employees may use accrued sick leave under PPSM-2.210: Absence from Work. Effective July 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, policy-covered staff employees may use accrued sick leave if they are unable to work or telework due to a need to care for their children who are not attending school (or who cannot be at their places of care or with their child providers) because of COVID-19 precautions.
Subject to collective bargaining, a similar expansion of the use of sick leave may be made available to represented employees who have accrued sick leave.
If you have any questions, please contact Kathleen Shiroma, Manager, Staff Personnel Policy at kshiroma@chr.ucla.edu.
