Failure to Return from Sabbatical - Salary Reimbursement

As per APM 740 and local PPM 230-10, individuals granted sabbatical are required to return to University service for a period equal to the sabbatical. An individual who does not fulfill the return to service obligation is required to reimburse the University an amount equal to the salary earned during sabbatical.

The reimbursement penalty for not fulfilling the return to service obligation is generally paid directly by the individual. In some cases, however, another institution may agree to pay the penalty as part of a start-up package for the individual. In either case, the reimbursement must be received by UCSD prior to the date the individual was expected to return to service following the sabbatical.

A faculty member may reimburse UCSD by submitting a check, made out to U.C. Regents, to the Payroll Office at the following address:

Mailing address:
University of California, San Diego
Business and Financial Services, Payroll Division

La Jolla, CA 92093-0952

Office location for hand delivery:
