July 9, 2004 Re: Policy on Supplement to Military Pay The University of California has extended its Policy on Supplement to Military Pay in order to continue to assist, to the extent possible, University academic and staff personnel who are serving on active military duty during Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Noble Eagle (the anti-terrorism and homeland defense campaigns), or any active military duty meant to support the President's call for a war on terrorism as a result of the September 11, 2001 attacks. Effective July 1, 2004, the University will provide to eligible employees supplemental payments equal to the difference between the employees' University base pay and their military pay and allowances and will continue UC's contribution to health plan premiums until the end of the employees' active military commitment or until the end of the 2004-05 fiscal year, whichever comes first. Some employees are ineligible for the supplemental payments because their military pay exceeds their University wages. However, the University will pay the UC contribution to health plan premiums for those who wish to continue their health plan coverage. Information regarding the University's Supplement to Military Pay Policies may be found at http://atyourservice.ucop.edu/employees/policies/policies/supplement.html. The University's Implementing Guidelines are being revised to reflect the continuance of this policy and will be available at the same web site, along with the Supplement to Military Pay Worksheet employees must complete. Should the war on terrorism continue beyond the 2004-05 fiscal year, the University may consider again extending the supplemental pay and health premium contributions, depending on the budgetary situation at that time. If you or your staff have questions, please contact Personnel Services in Campus Human Resources at (310) 794-3147, Healthcare Human Resources at (310) 794-0500, or the Academic Personnel Office at (310) 206-8004.
