Family Friendly Policies

An Introductory Note on Policies
UC ANR has several policies that are family friendly. This section will help you become familiar with leave policies for circumstances that may be family-related.

The policy discussion in this section applies specifically to academic employees at UC ANR. This information is current only as of the date of publication. Before taking any action, refer to updated relevant policy manuals and contracts. Contact your Regional Office, or Carolyn Frazier, HR Director (510)987-0034, email carolyn.frazier@ucop.edu.

Academic employees wishing to obtain more detailed information on the web regarding leave definitions and eligibility requirements should see the 700 series of the Academic Personnel Manual at http://www.ucop.edu/acadadv/acadpers/apm/sec5-pdf.html

 

What policies and laws govern the academics in ANR?
A number of family-friendly policies and laws exist to assist academics in balancing their needs between work and family.

New parents responsible for 50 percent or more of care are entitled to a three months of active service-modified duties (ASMD); birth mothers may receive a second term. New parents may also receive a total of up to one year of reduced duties plus leaves.

Advisors who are new parents with responsibility for 50 percent or more of the care of a child may stop the term review clock for one year for each birth/adoption event (up to a total of two years during the probationary period). All parents may at any time request up to a year of unpaid parental leave. The ANR Vice President has the authority to approve sick leave for academics to care for themselves or their family members for an unspecified period of time (revisions are currently under consideration for this policy). And academics with family needs may be granted a permanent change or temporary reduction in the percentage of time of a full-time appointment.
