Academic employees: parental leave.

Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges, under the administration of the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges, as one of the segments of public postsecondary education in this state. Existing law establishes community college districts, administered by governing boards, throughout the state. Existing law provides that during each school year, a person employed in an academic position may use his or her sick leave for purposes of parental leave for a period of up to 12 workweeks. Existing law provides a differential pay benefit for persons employed in academic positions that have exhausted all available sick leave and continue to be absent from their duties on account of parental leave, as specified. This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
