Eligibility for Extended Emergency Paid Sick Leave for COVID-19 Relief

Update: See table below for new HBS Pay Codes available to record leaves related to COVID-19.

In October 2021, President Drake approved an extension to the time allowed to use Emergency Paid Sick Leave (EPSL). The University’s 2021 EPSL expired on September 30, 2021, but eligible employees can use any remaining hours as Extended Emergency Paid Sick Leave (Extended EPSL) through June 30, 2022. This is a reminder that the University’s Extended EPSL is available to employees hired on or before September 30, 2021, who did not exhaust their 2021 EPSL entitlement. Read the announcement on UCnet for additional details.
