Information about UC's Reproductive Loss Leave.

UC is committed to supporting faculty and staff — and that includes enhancing benefits, programs and policies designed to help employees balance their work and personal lives. Beginning Jan. 1, 2024, UC’s leave options will expand to provide eligible employees with up to five days of protected leave following a reproductive loss. This change aligns with California legislation that will be effective Jan. 1, 2024.

Beginning January 1, an eligible employee may take up to five days of Reproductive Loss Leave following a reproductive loss by the employee, by the employee’s current spouse or domestic partner, or by another individual if the employee would have been a parent of a child had the reproductive loss not occurred. “Reproductive loss” means a failed adoption, failed surrogacy, miscarriage, stillbirth, or an unsuccessful assisted reproduction.

Information about the leave is available on UCnet. 

To request a leave, please complete the leave request form (PDF) and submit the form to your department HR contact or leave administrator.

Campus staff should contact Campus HR at hr@ucsd.edu. Health staff should contact Health HR via the Health HR Website. Academic appointees should contact their Academic Personnel contact or leave administrator.
