Leave Time
You should coordinate the specific days of vacation and personal time off with Kristin, especially for an extended absence.
Graduate Students
Graduate students researchers are allotted 12 days of personal time off per year (1 per/month) and graduate student instructors are allotted 3 days of personal time off per semester, as given by the UAW 2865 contracts. Additionally, graduate students are entitled to take off all holidays observed by LBNL. You should email Kristin well in advance (at least one month) with the days you plan to take off.
After discussing with Kristin, please add your PTO to the Persson Group Vacation Calendar. If you do not have access to this calendar, email Shannon for access and add it to your list of calendars.
LBL Postdocs
Postdocs will receive a set number of vacation / personal time off (PTO) days that will be outlined in your hiring package. For union postdocs, the union has currently negotiated 24 PTO days per year along with other benefits.
Berkeley Postdocs
As a new postdoc, you should submit a Postdoc time sheet each month to the Payroll team at 197M Cory Hall, ersopayroll@erso.berkeley.edu. This time sheet is used only to record the Personal Time Off and Sick Leave that you use. According to UC Postdoc policy, you are granted 24 days of Personal Time Off and 12 days of Sick Leave per 12-month appointment.
