Systemwide Review of Proposed Revisions to Academic Personnel Manual (APM) Section 710, Leaves of Absence/Sick Leave/Medical Leave
The University invites comments on proposed revisions to Section 710 of the Academic Personnel Manual:
  • APM - 710, Leaves of Absence/Sick Leave/ Medical Leave.
Summarized below are the proposed key policy revisions that are being distributed for systemwide review.  
The proposed changes are largely technical revisions to add a designated person for family and medical leave due to changes to the California Family Rights Act (CFRA), effective January 1, 2023. Proposed substantive changes are made to the following APM - 710 section:
  • 710-20 Use of Proposed Sick Leave 
The proposed substantive change allows academic appointees to use accrued sick leave for medical appointments or illness of a designated person.  
The proposed revisions to the APM - 710 are posted to the Academic Personnel and Programs website under the “Systemwide Review” tab. The draft policy is posted here. If you have any questions or if you wish to comment, please contact Paula Johnson in Policy and Records Administration at policy@ucsd.edu no later than July 21, 2023.
