RE: HR Update on Implementing Administrative Pay in Response to the Effects of the Thomas Fire
Human Resources is confirming that the prior guidelines for implementing paid emergency leave remain in effect for the upcoming winter storm events expected to impact Santa Barbara County. (https://www.hr.ucsb.edu/news/hr-guidelines-implementing-administrative-pay-response-effects-thomas-fire-0)
Staff residing in the evacuation zones or impacted by road closures preventing them from reporting to work should contact their supervisor or department head for assistance and to discuss their work status. Department managers are encouraged to exercise maximum flexibility for staff who are experiencing hardships as a result of this ongoing situation.
Departments with questions regarding staff who are impacted in the evacuation zones and requesting assistance or who are unable to report to work due to road closures should contact Farfalla Borah, Employee & Labor Relations Manager, at extension 4482.
The professionals in the Academic & Staff Assistance Program (ASAP) are available to assist all UCSB employees with the impact of these circumstances. More information is available at: https://www.hr.ucsb.edu/hr-units/employee-services/asap
Thank you and be safe.
