| Academic Personnel Guidelines for New Postdocs |
The Academic Personnel Guidelines for Postdoctoral Scholars in title codes 3252, 3253, 3254 can be found at http://www.ucop.edu/acadadv/acadpers/apm/apm-390.pdf. Information on Layoff procedures, grievances, sick leave, and time off can be found there.
In general “Postdoctoral Scholars – Employee” are eligible for paid sick leave of up to twelve days per twelve-month appointment period.
Postdoctoral Scholars do not accrue vacation. “Postdoctoral Scholars – Employees are expected to take time off each academic year in the intersession and recess periods (which constitutes about four weeks, excluding University holidays) between the beginning of Fall Term and the end of Spring Term. If, however, the Postdoctoral Scholar’s training and research program involves work during these periods, it is expected that the mentor will approve equivalent time off at another mutually agreeable time. Unless the extramural funding agency contains provisions to the contrary, “Postdoctoral Scholars – Fellow” and “Postdoctoral Scholars – Paid Direct” are eligible to take time off under these same conditions. Postdoctoral Scholars will remain on pay status during intersession and recess periods or their alternatives.
