Place faculty on Difference in Pay leave for academic year.

• Used to place an eligible Unit 3 employee on a difference in pay (DIP) leave for one academic year. The employee will receive salary equal to the difference between full pay and that of a designated benchmark class.

• The employee must occupy one full time position during the period of leave.  [We need to determine if this is accurate in light of the CalPERS service issue]

• The employee must occupy an eligible academic year class.  See list of classes above.

• When eligible lecturers are granted a DIP leave, the length of appointment on the employees job record must be sufficient in length to cover the period of the leave and the return service obligation.  
  For example:

 -One semester leave = an appointment length of one year.
 -One quarter leave = an appointment length of two quarters.
 -One year leave = an appointment length of two years.

• When processing a campus authorized DIP leave extension, enter a new PLA/DFA, enter the new Expected Return Date, and enter Article 28.2/MOU in Employment History Remarks.

• An employee must be reinstated before being placed on any other type of leave.

• For information on DIP leaves, refer to the Payroll Processing Guidelines on the Systemwide Human Resources website.
