Academic Sick and Vacation Leave Accruals by Series

See the chart below to determine whether appointees in the below series accrue sick leave, vacation leave, or neither.  Faculty and academic appointees who do not accrue sick and/or vacation leave may consult academic  policy and/or collective bargaining agreements, where applicable, about eligibility for other paid and unpaid academic leave provisions. See UC PATH for appointee's specific accruals.

With thanks to UC Davis for this chart format.

Please refer to APM 710-14 for more information on the title codes that may accrue sick leave and APM 710-18 for the rate of accrual. Please refer to the appropriate MOU for represented employees.
