Procedure for Advanced Sick Leave: Newly Hired RP and SV Career Employees

Dear Timekeepers and Payroll Managers,

Timekeeping Administrators are in the process of finalizing pay rules and accrual configurations for employees within the RP and SV unions.

To accommodate the Advanced Sick Leave provision, Timekeepers and Payroll Managers must submit a support ticket when an eligible employee needs to use sick leave, but does not have sufficient earnings to cover the leave. 

Please see the following contract language to determine employees that qualify:

Section 3(a) states, a newly hired employee who is eligible for this provision refers to a career employee newly hired to the University within their first three months of their hire date. Employees who are new to a position at the University but started that position with accrued sick leave already are not eligible for this provision.

If you have questions or concerns about eligibility or how this change applies to your employees, please contact HR Employee & Labor Relations through hrhelp.ucsb.edu.
