Leave

At times, many of us need time away from work for a variety of reasons. UC Berkeley Library employees have a number of leave options, including sick, vacation, holiday, family and medical leave (FMLA), and Pay for Family Care & Bonding. Read the Leaves Guide to learn more about general leave options and protocol for leave reporting.

Academic employees typically accrue at the rate of two days per month of vacation and one day per month of sick leave. For specifics see the Academic Personnel Manual (APM); and for represented librarians see the contract for the Professional Librarians Unit (LX) between the University of California and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT).
