In keeping with the University's intention to assist employees who are called to active military duty during the U.S. military campaigns pertaining to anti-terrorism, homeland defense, Iraqi freedom, and the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks, the UC Policy on Supplement to Military Pay has been extended for two years from July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2010.

Employees who are eligible for the benefits provided by this policy are those who serve on active duty during Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Noble Eagle, Operation Iraqi Freedom, or other campaigns related to the national state of emergency declared as a result of the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Under the policy, eligible employees will receive UC compensation for the difference between their University base pay and military pay and allowances until the end of their active military duty, or until June 30, 2010, whichever comes first. There is a two-year lifetime limit on these benefits.

The full policy is available on At Your Service.
