UC ANR has added a new Time Reporting System (TRS) dropdown menu item, “Paid Leave (COVID19)”, to report paid administrative leave in order to cope with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Please only use this dropdown only for the following reasons, all of which relate to COVID-19:

1. When the employee is unable to work because the employee or a family member has a COVID-19-related illness.
2. When an employee is unable to work because the employee has been directed not to come to work for COVID-19 related reasons (including shelter in place orders) and it is not operationally feasible for the employee to work remotely.

o   UC ANR highly encourages finding creative ways to allow employees to work remotely wherever possible.

o   When an employee is unable to work from home due to operational feasibility, the supervisor/director must notify HR. Please email both Jodi Rosenbaum (jrosenbaum@ucanr.edu) and Bethanie Brown (brbbrown@ucanr.edu) with the employee's name, your location and a general statement about the operational needs prior to placing the employee on leave.

3. When an employee is unable to work because of a COVID-19-related school or daycare closure that requires the employee to be at home with a child or dependent.

• Bi-weekly employees may report this leave usage to the nearest quarter hour.
• Monthly employees should report this leave usage in 8-hour increments.

If you have any questions or need any additional assistance, please contact Anne Marie Scott, payroll manager, UC ANR Payroll/Business Operations Center, at anrpayroll@ucanr.edu.
