What to do prior to going on a leave

Employee:

Send an e-mail to leaves@ucmerced.edu at least one month prior to your leave start date to ensure that your leave will be properly recorded and entered in the payroll system. Otherwise, it may affect or delay your payroll or disability payments. If the leave is unforeseeable, notify your supervisor and the Leaves Office as soon as possible about your need for leave.

Upon receipt of your request, your assigned Benefits Analyst will send you a leave packet containing the necessary forms for you to review and / or complete.

Supervisors: If you receive a notification or any updates from a staff member regarding a leave of absence please be sure to notify the Leaves Office.
