RE:     Notice of Formal Review and Employee Comment Period - Proposed Revisions to PPSM 63 Investigatory Leave     

The Office of the President is proposing revisions to PPSM 63 – Investigatory Leave, which applies to all staff employees who are Professional & Support Staff, Managers & Senior Professionals, and Senior Management Group members.

The policy has undergone a full review in consultation with the Office of General Counsel, Policy Coordinators at locations, and subject matter experts within the Office of the President. The proposed policy revisions are intended to clarify the University’s investigatory leave process. Additional revisions include updating the investigatory leave actions list and providing language and references to intersecting University policies such as Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment and Discrimination, Harassment, and Affirmative Action in the Workplace.

The proposed policy is posted on UCnet: https://ucnet.universityofcalifornia.edu/tools-and-services/administrators/policies/proposed/ppsm-63.html 

Employees covered by this policy who wish to provide comments on the proposed revisions may submit them to Debbie Hudgens (by email at debbie.hudgens@hr.ucsb.edu) by Wednesday, February 20, 2019.
