SUBJECT:  UC Personnel Policies for Staff Members and UCSD Implementing
                     Procedures

The consistent application of University policies, practices, and procedures is crucial to maintaining a climate of fairness and professionalism. Therefore, key personnel at UCSD have a significant responsibility to act fairly and equitably on a regular, recurring basis.

Together, the UC Personnel Policies for Staff Members (PPSM) and UCSD Implementing Procedures serve as the authoritative reference on all phases of the employer-employee relationship and indicate how policy is to be correctly administered in a given situation. In the past two years, the PPSM and UCSD Implementing Procedures have undergone major revisions in the following areas:

* MILITARY LEAVE
* PROBATIONARY PERIOD
* PAID HOLIDAYS
* SICK LEAVE
* LEAVE OF ABSENCE
