Now Live: Expansion of Paid Sick Leave As of January 1, 2025, the University of California has now expanded access to paid sick leave by revising leave policies for staff and for academic personnel to:

  • Expand eligibility for paid sick leave, including ensuring that part-time employees have access to paid sick leave
  • Expand the reasons for which employees may use paid sick leave
  • Provide paid sick leave that is “protected” so that the employee can be entitled to take the leave for a qualifying reason
  • Extend the period during which paid sick leave may be reinstated if an employee is reemployed after a separation from employment

Please review the Expansion of Paid Sick Leave Job Aid for more information. Learn more about this change and find answers to frequently asked questions on UCNet.

Retirement of Direct Retro Tool in UCPath UCOP is planning on deprecating the Direct Retro (DR) tool in UCPath effective July 1, 2025. The decision was made to deprecate the tool because of ongoing maintenance concerns and due to the launch of the new Salary Cost Transfer (SCT) tool in November 2023, which was designed to enhance the user experience and replace the older Direct Retro tool.

Please perform Direct Retros in UCPath for any remaining payroll transactions that will require the use of the Direct Retro tool and have them approved by June 30, 2025. Please note that High-Risk Direct Retros will require an additional approval. Read the full communication here.
