The UC Office of President has proposed revisions to the UC Personnel

revisions will ensure that a full-time exempt employee is eligible for

place prior to July 1, 1996.

The proposed revisions will only affect UCPPSM 40/Holidays, Section
B/ELIGIBILITY, 1.b. and 1.e. only. To facilitate review of the
proposed revisions to Section B/ELIGIBILITY, language to be deleted
appears in capital letters and the language to be inserted has been
placed in brackets.

1.b. -- For a holiday which falls in a week in which the

1.e. -- During A {an approved} leave of absence, a
temporary layoff, or furlough which does not
exceed twenty calendar days, including holidays.
