Emergency Leave for Employees Impacted Natural Disasters or Other Emergencies
Emergency Leave
Administrative leave with pay is available during natural disasters or other emergencies under section F of
PPSM-2.210: Absence from Work. In consultation with Campus Human Resources or Health Human Resources, Organization Heads may approve up to two days of administrative leave with pay and may request authorization for additional leave as needed to address situations in which staff are unable to report to work due to a natural disaster or emergency.
Additionally, departments have the discretion to allow employees who are unable to work as a result of the fires to use their accrued vacation, compensatory time off, or leave without pay. The option to use accrued vacation, compensatory time or leave without pay may also be made available to employees who volunteer for or are asked to participate in emergency response activities, such as volunteer firefighters. Employees called to active duty for emergency National Guard leave may be eligible to receive their regular University pay in accordance with section E of
PPSM-2.210: Absence from Work.
