A brief description of the institution’s program to support employee volunteering:
UCCS allows university staff and classified employees to use short-term paid administrative leave for volunteer work. This is based on APS 502 and the State Board Rules. Granting the time off is up to the discretion of the employee’s supervisor. Supervisors of eligible employees may authorize short-term paid administrative leave for the purposes described in this policy. A maximum of ten (10) days or eighty (80) hours of short-term administrative leave may be granted over a twelve-month period.
Short-term paid administrative leave is not an entitlement or benefit. Authorization of short-term paid administrative leave for eligible employees’ rests within the sole discretion of their supervisors as exercised within the guidelines described in this policy. Supervisors may authorize short-term paid administrative leave for eligible employees for reasons determined to be for the good of the university and the state. Supervisors shall consider prudent use of taxpayer dollars and the business needs of the university in determining whether such leave is for the good of the state. Such reasons include, but are not limited to, incentive rewards, coursework directly related to employment, and participation in school or community volunteer activities.
