The following policies are effective 4/20/98.  Extensive changes
were made to Policies 710 (Sick Leave), 730 (Vacation), and 760
(Childbearing Leave, Parental Leave, and Active-Service Modified
Duties) to clarify wording, illustrate the relations of these
leaves to applicable State and Federal law, and add new
provisions.  Provisions on the transfer of accrued sick leave and
accrued vacation, the reinstatement of accrued sick leave, and
usage of accrued vacation before the expiration of an appointment
or expiration of a funding source have been added.  In
recognition of shared childrearing responsibilities, appointees
with substantial responsibility to care for a child before and/or
immediately following birth or placement may now request periods
of Active Service-Modified Duties.  Two charts have been added to
provide information on the timing of childbearing leaves,
childrearing leaves, and periods of Active Service-Modified
Duties.  New Policy 715 was developed to recognize commitment to
and compliance with the Federal Family and Medical Leave Act and
the California Family Rights Act.  Related changes have been made
to Policy 133 (Limitation on Total Period of Service with Certain
Academic Titles) and Policy 700 (Leaves of Absence/General).
